Hi all, I couldn't resist the temptation in the end, and I refined a bit that patch for a LyX Chat, going forward along the QXMPP path.
I just attached the new patch to the original ticket: http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/7964 and being XMPP-based, it also interoperates nicely with Pidgin for example, as shown in the VIDEO AT: www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQnVxbX8A3w Plus, it doesn't need any chat server from the LyX side, as the many existing XMPP ones can easily be used (as in the shown example, where I'm using jabber.org). Comments are welcome of course, as always. T.
