I remember using early versions of LyX back in college in 1995. I feel that it led to the development of KDE. I remember Matthias Ettrich released LyX and it used the Qt toolkit. The next year I remember Matthias announcing the "Kool Desktop Environment" and it also was based on Qt. I don't know if Matthias just really like Qt or if he was happy with the success of LyX and decided to make an entire desktop environment.
