Depends. In my case there was some circularity in the problem itself (could even lead to infinite loops if not correctly used), so it made sense. In the case of LyX I think that it simply is a mix of different designs (frontend as library vs. kernel as library). We should probably decide to only use one, but IMHO we should first finish the unicode stuff. Georg
