I'm now very confused. Because I just started CVS lyx up again, and now I
/can/ click in the minibuffer. I don't see what focussing in has to do
with the minibuffer having to know about lyxfuncs anyway (what's the difference
between that and M-X ???).
I also don't understand why it wasn't working before.
Also, when I click, thwe current contents are not cleared.
I've never really liked the fact that the minibuffer is used for status bar
and a command prompt. It's very confusing (you don't want to know how long
it was using lyx before I realised you /could/ enter commands there).
Certainly I would prefer one of the frontends to separate the two visually.
But that's not particularly relevant now.
