Yes, that would help me a lot. 
Why, I am using cjk-lyx every day. It is really the best
software for scientific writing in Japanese. 
Even 300+ pages documents with all kinds of cross
references and figures work out perfectly, and fast.

Of course, I tried to install my old SUSE8.2
cjk-lyx-1.3.2-72 together with xforms.
The Japanese works there all right. 
However, in SUSE 9.1 as well in 9.3 I get weird (too
large) boxes around \int or \sum symbols in math, or any
other symbol from the math panel's "sum" / "integral"
sub-panel.
So any equation is hideously distorted, if only one of
these symbols is appearing
(The compiled dvi, ps or pdf works still fine, so it is
not a latex problem).
Actually, I even do not get all the symbols inside the
math panel popup disaplayed if I use the SUSE 9.0 version
of xforms (with or without extension), or any other SUSE
version I tried, but only if I use the
xforms-1.0-i18n_7.i386.rpm from the cjk-lyx ftp server.
This (smaller) problem I faced in SUSE 8.2, 9.1 and 9.3 .
Regrettably, while with the xforms-1.0-i18n_7.i386.rpm all
symbols IN the math panel popup window appear correctly,
in the MAIN WINDOW the sum/integral symbols appear
distorted, no matter which version of xforms I use.
On my old SUSE 8.2 the above cjk-lyx+xforms worked
perfectly. 
So there must be some inconsistency from SUSE 9.1 (or
9.0?) on.

As I can guess that just installing an earlier version of
qt causes more new problems then it fixes,
I am happy to wait a few weeks if you really can fix the
much more beautiful qt version of cjk-lyx.

Kind regards,

Hisha
