And you decided to spam the Lyxusers list why, exactly?
Can it be that you are so stupid that you don't realize the ill will
created by such acts is very counterproductive?
Apparently so.

Steve, you are correct that the layout file is *not* required to be GPL.

the GPL. Plus, with the GPL, we have the consideration as to *which*

I am a relatively new LyX user, too. Among the documents I did in the

familiar.

impact on image size.
If, for example, you have a 24-bit image, you can often reduce it to
15 or 16 bit color with little if any apparent loss of quality yet
with far less size.
That at least may get you going.

Transparent layers are only supported on a few file formats, of course.
That said, there are a number of programs available that allow you to
optimize your images, often *greatly* reducing file size.
For example, if you use Windows you might look at the freeware
selections at http://www.snapfile

If you have the hard drive space, you might also consider installing

I don't know if you specified, but you probably need a "686" version
rather than a 586.
However, why not simply download the source and compile it yourself?
It is no more than a minor issue to do so. On the old machine I am
using just now, it did take some time to do, but the result was

Personally, I did not respond to the idea that the menus should be

I'll give you a simple example: let us

I read nothing in Mr. Gonzalez' suggestion that would require that you

You did not say the operating system you are using. If on Linux or

If you are on Windows, there are several free PDF print drivers as
