Thanks, Jurgen. Your comments were helpful.
As for the inserted comments (item #4), sometimes one needs to insert
comments for one's colleagues while editing a text.
I tried to insert a Lyx note or a comment, and although they showed up
in the Lyx file, they did not show up in the output file, even though I
checked the "Show changes in output".
By the way, checking this option produced many errors in going to
pdflatex, but worked fine (with the exception of the comments) when
producing a dvi file, which could then be pdf'ed without problems.

This is a bug we are aware of. It will be fixed in the next release (1.6.2),
most likely.
2. There is no tracking of who changed what, as is nicely done in MS
WORD
This is supposed to work. LyX tracks the author name, and as of 1.6.0, you can
allocate different colors to different authors (which is actually the source
of the bug mentioned in #1).
3. There are no keyboard shortcuts for accepting/rejecting changes,
making the process tedious
you can allocate shortcuts in the preferences dialog (Edit>Shortcuts). The
corresponding functions are change-accept, change-reject and change-next.
4. Inserting notes into the text is not as nicely done as it used to
be in previous version of MS WORD-- it is simply hard to see where
the notes are, or what is their contents.
Could you elaborate a bit?
