Hi,
we've still two patches in the Debian package for LyX 1.5.2 you might
be interested in.
05.configure.py_prog_prefer is mostly about adding xdg-open/sensible-editor
as the first option in configure.py.
I've never seen 'sensible-editor' so far, but I guess if it is good
enough for Debian it is good enough for the rest of the world too.
"sensible-editor" is a debian script, intended to let other
software launch an editor as needed.
It will start $EDITOR if you have one specified, honoring
user preferences. If you don't have $EDITOR set, it
will try various common fallbacks like "nano" and "vi".
Therefore, it will almost always succeed in bringing up some
editor - and your preferred one if you indicate a preference.
