chip in...

I agree with Jürgen that it would be best to disable quite a number of the entries in 
the export menu -- maintaining the option to enable/disable each and everyone of them 
in the Preferences. Same goes for View/Update other formats -- when one solely needs 
to work with either pdflatex or XeTeX/LuaTeX it seems unnecessary to have all the 
other TeX ->  some-path ->  PDF options around.

... and it makes it just a little bit harder to promote LyX to friends and 
family with all those convoluted abbreviations staring back at you :-)

So - as a possible new developer on LyX - what do I need to learn to clean-up 
the export menu?

The idea would be to add a new flag (say, "menu") to converters (in src/Converters.cpp). You can look how other converters are implemented and how he prefs are set (qt4/GuiPrefs.cpp). The code to do the actual change will go to qt4/Menus.cpp.
