Thanks for taking care of the lyx2lyx stuff! I added the requisite comment to the FORMAT file --- could you just check your name (I'm not sure my accents are correct) and email?

The name is fine there.

Btw. Why do you have a [EMAIL PROTECTED] email adress and me not?

Regarding your change for the arabtex preamble --- I don't think this code will ever be used, because one of the specific instructions for using ArabTeX is to *never* switch the document language to "Arabic (ArabTeX)". It doesn't work if you do that.

OK then, but besides this patch I would use the method to insert Farsi related stuff whenever Fasi is used.

So I removed this code in the attached patch. I guess once we know how to activate it even if the language is used anywhere in the document, then we can add it in again, and we won't need this change in the preferences file.

OK.

When arabtex is used, babel should not be loaded (because babel is not supported by arabtex and to avaoid interferences with arabi), I therefore corrected this line.

I know this is not correct, and I had originally removed it, but then the language switch commands (added to the preferences during the one-time setup for ArabTeX) were not taking effect. It looks like the language switch commands are currently used only if babel is activated.

I cannot reproduce this - works fine here or I do need a better recipe to 
reproduce.
We should not commit obiously wrong stuff. What you describe is a bug we should fix and not introducing a workaround.

I only changed in your patch the arabic babel entry in "languages" and a bit 
whitespace.
I'll fix the problem you described when I can reproduce it.

All other parts of your patch are OK.

José gave his OK for the case when we agreed to a solution and we tested it hardly enough the last days I think. Therefore I committed it:

When there are unseen side effects please shout!

Thanks for the good work and the discussions that lead to this solution and 
best regards
Uwe
