I keep an open gv session next to my lyx window with 'watch file' on, and have 'update postscript' bound to key F11, so it's just a matter of hitting F11 and I can instantly see what the final doc will look like. Not exactly real time, but close enough for all intents and purposes. It actually lets me concentrate on the writing, and still get layout checks easily when needed. Cheers, f.
