(This is the third time I am posting this reply since I don't see it... If they are all stuck in some queue and will appear together, my apologies.)
I am glad my question helped someone else, but my problem is not solved yet. My locale settings are correct (LANG is he_IL) and I have also looked at qtconfig but the font settings there seem unrelated to lyx. I can type hebrew in the various windows (search, etc.), but the navigate menu still shows the section headings in giberish and not Hebrew. Can you think of anything else?
