+The xforms library has been very recently updated to version 1.0.
+This version has been released under the LGPL (Lesser General Public
+License), and the availability of the source means that many bugs that
+have been plaguing LyX have been fixed in xforms. You are advised to
+upgrade to xforms 1.0 to enjoy all these new fixes.
+In fact, LyX 1.3.x no longer supports versions of xforms older than 0.89.5.
+
+You can get the source from
+ http://world.std.com/~xforms/
+ ftp://ncmir.ucsd.edu/pub/xforms/OpenSource/xforms-1.0-release.tgz
+ ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/xforms/OpenSource/xforms-1.0-release.tgz
+
+If you use a rpm-based linux distribution, such as RedHat or Mandrake,
+we recommend that you grab a version of xforms from
+ ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/contrib
+Look for the xforms-1.0-release.src.rpm or the binary libforms*.i386.rpm.
+
+In addition, you must have libXpm version 4.7 or newer.
+
+* Qt frontend
+
+LyX has been tested with both Qt 2.x and 3.x libraries. The only special
+point to make is that you must ensure that both LyX and the Qt libraries
+are compiled with the same C++ compiler.
+
+Note that if Qt is using Xft2/fontconfig, you may need to install the
+latex-ttf-fonts package (available on ftp://ftp.lyx.org/) to get maths
+symbols displayed properly. To find out, type:
+ ldd `which lyx` | grep fontconfig
+at the console. Both RH8 and Debian unstable distributions are known
+to use fontconfig.
+
+If, however, your version of Qt does not use fontconfig, then the
+/usr/local/share/lyx/xfonts directory (or equivalent) should be added to
+the font path. This is done automatically by LyX if LyX is run on
+the local machine, and the X server supports Postscript fonts. If, however,
+you're running LyX remotely, then you'll have to do this step yourself.
+'man xset' is your friend.
+
+* Other things to note
+
+If you make modifications to files in src/ (for example by applying a
+patch), you will need to have the GNU gettext package installed, due
+to some dependencies in the makefiles. You can get the latest version
+from:
+ ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gettext/gettext-0.11.4.tar.gz
