I concur: 1. External LaTeX packages have no place in LyX. Lars/Asger/Jean-Marc and a cast-of-thousands worked long and hard to ensure we'd never need to do this (hence the whole LaTeX-Config engine & autogenerated manual). Why resurrect a long-rejected bad idea? 2. What the heck is a beamer? Just because you think it's the greatest-thing-since-sliced-bread doesn't mean everyone else does. Or even knows it exists. (Your bias is showing, Uwe!) If it were really all that critical (like e.g. geometry.sty), it'd already have integrated LyX support. If it's The Future, the devteam will discover it soon enough... -- John Weiss
