Hello Mark, hello *,
I'm not sure if there is still someone interested in fixing bugs in the
xforms frontend. I'd suggest you to try out the qt frontend by installing
the lyx-qt package.

Moreover I'm forwarding this bug to the lyx-devel mailinglist so that someone
from the developers can comment on it.
So the question for me is if it's still worth to gate those bugs to the
lyx-devel list/the LyX Bugzilla or not?
If not I think I'll tag the bug wontfix in the Debian BTS and face the
discussion why there is still a xforms package if it's not supported.

Regards,
Sven
