If anyone is interested, I've created wrappers for FL_FORM and for the 
FL_OBJECTs used by the citation dialog and used them successfully. The code 
can be found at
        http://www.devel.lyx.org/~leeming/xforms-wrappers.tar.bz2
and when untarred will contain
        wrappers/patch.diff
        wrappers/src/frontends/xforms

The patch file contains the (minimal) changes to the rest of LyX
The xforms directory is a slot in replacement for the existing one.

Of all the files in src/frontends/xforms, however, only directory XF and 
Dialogs.C FormBase.[Ch], FormCitation.[Ch] and form_citation.[Ch] are of 
interest.

As you'll see, the resulting FormBase and FormCitation are _much_ cleaner. 
This should make the task of maintaining different frontends much simpler 
since the underlying logic is now clear to all.

Regards,
Angus
