Since I pulled libqt 4.5 from experimental, lyx has become very unstable;
I can consistently freeze it by commening a line in the document preamble,
for instance; but it happens in many situations I didn't exactly spot.
When it frezees, it doesn't push anything to stdout or sdterr, not even when
started with lyx -dbg any.
I've only experienced this with lyx, so I wouldn't blame the libraries...
I'm tagging this bug as normal because the problem hasn't hit unstable yet,
but it makes lyx barely usable.
Cheers,

Luca
