progress is happening ...
now, the configure thing is something annoying i will check up on
later on - now i want to get change-bars going - and it is happening!
it seems to be important where you place the cursor in the document
when enabling "track changes". placing the cursor before ERT
\begin{linenumbers} was a bad choice. placing the cursor just before
the title works wonders (tip for the wiki - comming up).
strangely enuf, change bars doesnt seem to be very stable. redoing the
view->pdf a couple of times in a row suddenly may give warnings:
xdvi: Warning: /var/lib/texmf/dvips/config/ps2pk.map: entry for font
"cmex7" on line 93 overrides previous entry.
xdvi: Warning: /var/lib/texmf/dvips/config/ps2pk.map: entry for font
"cmex8" on line 95 overrides previous entry.
xdvi: Warning: /var/lib/texmf/dvips/config/ps2pk.map: entry for font
"cmex9" on line 97 overrides previous entry.
and then the colors of the change bars disappear :o/ ?
back to the testing!
