Dear John,

thanks for the new JED.

If I remember right, /etc/jed.conf was introduced to please Debian. The
Debian jed package no longer uses /etc/jed.conf, as

  * it introduces an /etc/jed.d/ startup configuration directory where
    other packages can place initialization scripts. 
    
    (This is an overkill for "normal" users, but allows packages that
    come with an jed script (some programming language with a jed syntax
    highligting mode, say) to be installed also if jed is not
    installed.)
    
  * having both /etc/jed.conf and /etc/jed.d is considered as littering
    /etc/

If the only reason for calling /etc/jed.conf is Debian, you can
savely remove this code. If, OTOH this is considered usefull for
other Unix variants, keep it.

This is very nice and lets me simplify reload_buffer()
(see jedmodes.sf.net/mode/bufutils/)

I still have to test these...

Cut and past to lyx-qt works now. This holds also for other Qt based
apps (e.g. kwrite, kate). Thanks a lot, for me this is a very important
improvement.
