Qt3 is a short term solution, in the long run it is a dead end. At the latest when KDE 4 is out the majority of the distros have Qt4. Also Qt4 could optionally ship with LSB systems. But LyX fiddles with four frontends. I want to see a longterm vision not only the shortsighted view. Trunk with Qt4 and a branch with Qt3 for bug fixes. >> >> | <no-smiley day> >> | Often it sounds like this: "Be a slave or leave." >> | </no-smiley day> >> >> Conform or die. > > You will be *assimilated* !
