So, having ranted a bit (sorry!), let me now raise the question: how do we
want LyX to behave? If my views here aren't shared, would it be easy to have
LyX's behavior on Mac conform more closely to Mac users' expectations in
this case?
The moment I put this comment on bugzilla I knew you will strike back ;-)
I understand your position and if possible we should accommodate the
session behaviour to Mac one window per document standard. But I for one
don't like to have tens of windows opened, I like tabs; I will most
likely have a maximum of three windows. Just like with Firefox. IOW I
don't want the Outline to close when I am clicking on another tab. I
guess I am not alone in that case...
But to answer your question, it should not be hard technically to
optionally come closer to Mac standards, it would just require some
work, see below.

By the way, where do we store information about dock status, dialog
locations, etc.?
We (well, I) use Qt tools (QSettings, etc). But for file oriented
session management we still use the home-grown Session class which I
would like to kill someday. But this is very low priority for me, sorry.
