At the moment, no :)  I did end up removing one, and this is apparently 
where debian puts it now (which I don't believe was teh case in the 
past).  I suspect something weird happened during debian installation or 
update, or oen of my bizzare network problems (which began when a 
genius pulled my network cable out because "unix is a security threat" 
[note:  all machines here have outlook, netscape, and ofice, with 
*everything* enabled!).

I had to remove *three* copies of lyx while trying to clean up:  debian 
put one in (I still don't know why :), I compiled one, and there was a 
third one . . .

err, err, my fingers . . . how do I retrain them? :) It took me over 
ten years to get bits of word star out of them (and now that I've 
mentioned this, I'll probably try to ^e my way up the screen for weeks 
. . .).

We *are* going to have bindings, aren't we, even if they're not the 
same?  Being able to do it all from the keyboard is a big selling 
point, and a major advantage over that evil equation editor in a 
certain product . . . ALso, having significantly less keystrokes than 
raw latex helps . . .
