Amen to that! Other unpleasantness (in the word processor) relates to
screen updates when using Compiz - so buggy (even on my well-supported
Nvidia card) that's it's unusable.
Even though under deadline pressure, i tried LyX for my current writing
project (thanks to this list), and am really enjoying it. A good blend
of gui editor and clean separation of structure & appearance. One
interesting thing is discovering body-memory for a bunch of keystrokes
for dealing w/bad habits from MS-Word.
