There is a nice problem with LyX on Qt/Mac, also. In their infinite wisdom, the Qt/Mac coders decided that it would be a good idea to find all the items in menus that look like "Preferences", "Settings", "About LyX", remove them from their respective menus and put them in the application menu.
Besides the fact that it is really bad taste (you cannot disable this behaviour (except by recompiling qt/mac)), it completely breaks down with LyX. For example, if one wants to access preference, the right thing to do is to Open the Edit menu, close it, and then go to the "LyX" menu.
In fairness to Trolltech, it is "standard" behavior in Mac Aqua applications for the Preferences and About menus to appear under the application menu. I think the Trolltech QT/MacOSX libraries are just trying to stick to that look & feel.
