I suppose you use KDE (1/2). My second suggestion is that you did not define
a lyx mime-type, so the type is guessed by KDE. In KDE 1 you can go to kfm's
edit menu and choose MIME-types to create a new file (e.g.
/text/x-lyx.kdelnk) as a LyX file descriptor, there you could also set LyX
as default program to open the file. In KDE 2 mime-types is a subtopic in
the KDE control center (the menu-point in konqueror can just edit the
current file type but not create a new one)
Question to the experts:
Is there a "standard" MIME type for LyX files? (I choose /text/x-lyx as it
resembles /text/x-tex for TeX files.
