Thanks Paul,

Here's a fairly minimal test.lyx. On my system, when I View->Postscript, the 
gv page numbers reset at page 1 (gv pages 1, 1 and 2 correspond to logical 
pages i, 1 and 2). This is correct.

However, when I View->PDF(pdflatex) or any other conversion to pdf, my gv page 
numbers are 1, 2 and 3 corresponding to logical page numbers i, 1 and 2.  
This results in the gv page numbers not matching the logical page numbers.

It would be interesting to see if it acts the same way on your system.

I'm using lyx 1.3.5 Oct 6, 2004, which is what came with my Mandriva 2006 
Linux. I'd very much prefer not to upgrade until I'm completely through with 
my current book and have plenty of time to troubleshoot all my past books 
after upgrading my lyx to 1.4.whatever, which has *character styles!!!* (and 
thanks so much for the character styles).

Thanks
