No not really, in SigC it is called SigC::Object it is we that are
doing something bad in draging that into the global namespace in a
header file.
If I were to decide we would begin using namespaces right away, and
just drop support for those compilers that does not understand them
properly.

Yes, they have no choice.

And it will be just that, not a real solution.

| #undef Object

And you can never know what of problems that will lead into...
Actually it is not surpringly few compilers that _don't_ support
namespaces anymore. and those that don't will usually have a really
hard time compiling LyX anyway.
