Out of curiosity, should Lyx be pronounced 'lyk', as in TEX?
What is the origin of the name?
Apparently not, although I'm not sure even that is unanimous:

Since it's written in C++, famous for adventures in memory pointers, I
suppose "leaks" would be the most reasonable pronunciation. ;-)
*LOL*
Please add this as a humorous explanation, although for English speaking
people, 'licks' is closer.
Uwe wrote something about how the original name of the application was
something like 'Lyrix', which I think was a play on 'lyrics'. I can't
confirm this personally however.
