Well, I am not a programmer, but IMVHO programms should do only one
thing and do it well. Therefore, I do not like programms which try to
do things which are clearly not appropriate for them -- especially
localization of keyboard (e.g. Emacs and LyX). It seems to me, that LyX
should just get the information about the character have ben typed in
from X and all .kmap files should go straight into the waste bin. I
understand, that LyX's own support for i18n of keyboard is historical
residuum from times when there were no good localizations, but it seems
to me, that now bare X is able to support nearly any language
imagianble and if not (I ahve no idea, whether there is an support of
Arabic), it would be better to create partciular modules for X not for
LyX.
Better GUII would be another nice result of it (how is the localization
of the keyboard done in M$-Windows of LyX?).
