Or you can just send the bottles directly to me. I'll find a use for
them :)

Yes, please give us details on the whereabouts of these problems. In
particular, we know that there are crashes happening when using the
Delete key, but we are not able to reproduce them.

It should be easy enough.

The work currently going on in the sources will eventually allow to do
that.

There is some preliminary support for pdflatex. Have a look in lyxrc.

You can already define latex math macros. General macros would be much
more work.

We don't stick to xforms. The "rae" branch of our cvs repository
contains code for the GUI-independent foundations of LyX. They will be
merged in the main version in 1.1.6 or 1.1.7. Then a port of LyX to
Qt/KDE and/or Gtk/Gnome will be possible. We hope to see MFC and
curses ports too.
