Yousef, LyX can be compiled with either frontend but not with both. You have a version that was compiled with the XForms frontend. If you want a version compiled with the Qt frontend, then you'll either need to grab it from some (unknown to me) gentoo archive or you'll have to grab the LyX sources and build it yourself. As Rich says, this should be as simple as $ ./configure --with-frontend=qt $ make but you'll need the Qt header files to be installed on you machine too. Plus a bunch of other stuff. Anyway, I hope that this makes the position clearer.
