If you use the QT frontend, you don't need XForms.

Note that if Qt is using Xft2/fontconfig, you may need to install the
latex-ttf-fonts package, tobe found on ftp://ftp.lyx.org/ to get maths
symbols displayed properly. To find out, type:
        ldd which lyx | grep fontconfig
at the console. Both RH8 and Debian unstable distributions are known
to use fontconfig.
