That's because 3.0.3 was built in March, well before the 2.0 kernel
was available.  Red Hat 4.0 does have the 2.0 kernel.

There is an updated X package for that on our FTP site.  It was a bug.

Sorry about that, but please send suggestions on changes to bugs@redhat.com.

Well, xforms isn't "free" software.  We've chosen not to try to 
ship it.  Lyx uses xforms, and thus can't be built on a system
without xforms, so we don't ship it as well.  Both are available
in RPM format from our FTP site in the contrib section.

Red Hat 4.0 now has dependencies.
