Well, you're stuck with XForms-based LyX for now.  The LyX team are (and
have been for _years_) working on the 'GUII' (GUI Independance) model,
so that you can have a frontend written in your favourite widget
toolkit, but still share the same backend code.  Sounds like Qt fronted
is coming along nicely, but the GTK one seems to have stalled a bit.
If you want to help, head over to www.lyx.org and go to the developers
section and dig in!
