My first session. Instead of just killing the second instance I have to skilfully close all views belonging to Project 2 to get back to the original state. On the other hand if I manage to crash LyX with one Project suddenly everything goes down... And then we still have 'global' macros, so suddenly macros from Project 2 overwrite those from Project 1 which is especially nasty when they are incompatible. Andre'
