Description Philipp Leusmann CLA 2010-07-12 09:13:55 EDT 
since in the minimized qooxdoo-version qs.js '$' is used as a variable name, it is not possible to use the prototype js library, which uses the '$' char as an operator name.

So my request is to rename the array in line 1 of qx.js with some safer name. 
Since I suppose, qx.js is compressed anyway before sending to the client at runtime, using more than one char as the qualifier should be no problem.

This issue has been solved with the new YUI-based Javascript compressor (bug 327451). The variable $ is still used in a closure around the RAP js code for string replacement. However, since it is not bound in the global scope anymore and does not interfere with third-party libraries.
