I'm with john on this. There's definitely a problem with respect to documentation however some differences will be required. To fit in with the look and feel of the desktop, the required UI guidelines etc. On the whole they will be similar, but they'll never be merely 'the same with different buttons'. Also I think the differences will lead to a UI review (something LyX hasn't had so far) with the best features of each frontend going into the others. -- ======================================================================== | Michael Koziarski |"Conventional wisdom is often | | Data Engineer, Linux user | long on convention and short | | & Objectivist. | on wisdom" -- | | http://www.koziarski.com | Warren E.
