Garst, if you could do that I'd be very grateful.

See what happens with EVERYTHING! Ie, keyboard handling by the main LyX 
screen widget should be unchanged by this patch. As should keyboard handling 
by the xforms input and browser widgets. I'm especially intersted in 
ensuring that navigation of these widgets using the cursor keys (UpArrow, 
DownArrow, Home, End etc) is unchanged. Finally, navigation of an xforms 
dialog using the tab and return keys to cycle around multiple FL_INPUT 
widgets should also be unchanged.

I used the Citation and Preamble dialogs to trial all this. The former has 
multiple browser and input widgets. The latter allows multi-line text input. 
All seemed to behave well for me.

Incidentally, I have patches for many of the xforms bugs that currently 
affect LyX. I really think that rolling out an xforms tree is a good idea. 
Once we've proved they work, it'll be easy to get them rolled into the 
official xforms source.

Lars, could you set one up?

Best regards,
Angus
