but most of these have been made to xforms itself. To benefit you must
recompile LyX against xforms 1.0.2 or greater which is currently
available only from CVS on the new xforms development site
http://www.nongnu.org/xforms/. Note that that is _compile_ aginst the
new xforms, not _link_ against a new version of the library, as the
work-arounds will otherwise still be in place. Note also that
development of xforms is currently accelerating. We hope to have an
official xforms release soon that will cure many of the small
annoyances from which LyX currently suffers.
