The problem with 'right-click context menus' is that they are not as simple to implement as adding a few lines to ui/foo.ui. Show me how that works and I'll happily move most mathed editing to such a context menu. [One of the real problems with LyX UI is creating new dialogs. A lot of features is simply not visible to users as nobody went through the trouble to create an appropriate dialog. Unfortunately neither xfroms nor Qt make developing dialogs simple. (Or at least as simple as Tcl/Tk etc)] Andre' -- Those who desire to give up Freedom in order to gain Security, will not have, nor do they deserve, either one. (T. Jefferson or B.
