it does *what* ??? eh ??? This makes no sense whatsoever, qt and qt2 are two
totally separate libraries.

There is no mention of libqt in the lyx config, I can only assume this is a local
issue (the symlink you made is obviously bad ...)

Can you send me your config.log please ?

this does happen.

missing features not implemented yet.

you need to run :

./lyx -sync

until we don't use the xforms library. This is an issue between the xforms and qt2
X error handlers and is not solvable :(

will look.

sure they need doing ;) They need to be MVCed first though and that definitely won't 
happen
before 1.2.0.

I'm definitely interested in more criticism yes. Especially in differences
between behaviour which doesn't make much sense as far as you can see.
