The command \thanks is a special kind of "footnote" for titling commands
(\title, \author, \date). LyX always uses \footnote, though, which works well
with most classes, since the standard classes (and lots of other) do a
\let\footnote\thanks
inside the maketitle definition.
Now this does not work with the memoir class at least, since P. Wilson refuses
to redefine \footnote inside maketitle. Cf:
http://groups.google.de/groups?hl=de&lr=&ie=UTF-8&selm=HA3xHF.8u0%40news.boeing.com
The attached patch changes InsetFoot::latex, so that \thanks is always used
inside titling. This works with all classes, since \thanks is defined inside
the LaTeX kernel.
OK to apply?
