I do not consider using the Q3X classes as 'proper port'. Using them bites only a bit later. I've ported a 40kloc test app from Qt 3.3 to 4 and spend about 30% of the initial time to create the Qt 3.3 just for porting. Of course, the more non-Qt generic stuff there is, the less porting is necessary. Anyway, porting is not really hard, it's just tedious. > In other words, we should be able to manage the migration to "real" > Qt4 so that we can address each dialog, the menubars, toolbars and the > main LyX screen in isolation. Qt 4's designer does not even support mainwindows (yet, promised for 4.1...) Andre'
