So there is currently _no_ linux distribution that has a qt4 really
good enough for LyX? Is your plan to tell people that they should not
bother about LyX if their distribution is more than one year old?

And I do not like bundling either. This whole stuff began because Qt4
was a must for supporting windows the way it deserves to be (or
something like that). There has been a lot of work in this direction
recently, in particular thanks to Bo's work, and I am glad to see
that.

But after seeing all these messages on how we should understand the
specific needs of windows users, here is another one from linux users: 

  The application should work with the same version of qt as the
  distrib's KDE.

I agree 100% that using the latest and greatest qt4 in the binary
distribution is the best solution for Windows and Mac. The situation
is different with unix/linux, that's all.
