    Try hard to obtain an instant preview.
    
    When the dvipng route is selected and latex fails, the lyxpreview2bitmap.py
    script simply bails out. The failure may be due to using a specific pdf
    only feature in ERT (for example, the inclusion of a pdf image).
    In this case the procedure may succeed simply trying to use pdflatex
    and the legacy conversion method.
