You're welcome, Wolfgang. For what it's worth, I use Liv Andronic's Ubuntu
PPA (linked in the binaries section of the LyX download page) to stay
current on Mint. I'm not aware of any equivalent sites for Debian, but there
is a site (https://wiki.debian.org/CreatePackageFromPPA) claiming it's easy
to convert an Ubuntu package to a Debian package. I'm just mentioning it in
case you're interested.

It would be nice if a Debian user would take it upon himself/herself to make
Debian versions of Liv's packages. Unfortunately, I can't, since I don't
have Debian installed. (Mint is based on Ubuntu.)

Cheers,
Paul

I'd be careful with that; it might remove the wrong version (or nothing). If
you have Synaptic installed, I'd recommend opening that, searching for
installed packages containing 'lyx' in the their name, and see if you can
identify the "latestdev" version. If so, you can mark it for deletion. If
you don't have Synaptic, you can run "dpkg-query -s lyx" in a terminal.
Scroll down to the "Version:" line and see if it is indicating
lyx-latestdev. If so, your command should work; but if it identifies a
different version, try "dpkg-query -l lyx-latestdev" to see if it's instaled
with that package name.

Synaptic of my Debian Jessie proposes lyx2.1.2-2 as the newest version, 
that was the reason I installed first lyx2.2.0rc1 and later lyx2.2.0.
dpkg-query -s lyx: Paket »lyx« not installed and no information 
available. I think I will leave lyx2.2.0rc1 and forget about it.

Thanks for the help, Paul

There's a server version of LyX (documented on the wiki) that can take
commands from a program or script (or you typing in a terminal) and execute
them using LyX. The lyxclient program is, I think, the command line/terminal
client provided with LyX. I've never used the server version, so I don't
know any more than that.

I take it back and apologize-- I have tried to click on the icons in
the bottom toolbar, which did nothing, but after reading the
latest response I right-clicked on the NewDocument icon, and sure
enough-- I chose giant size, and my icons are now visible.  Thanks a
lot for your help and patience.

Right-click on any of the toolbar icons, then choose Huge or Giant.
Hopefully this will once work without user intervention.
