This sounds like a font problem. Try running lyx from the command line with
$ lyx -dbg font
Here, opening up a new document, creating a math inset and typing
"\Gamma<space>" (That's hitting the space bar...)
results in this message being printed to console:
Using scalable font to get
-unknown-cmr10-medium-r-normal--20-0-0-0-p-0-adobe-fontspecific

What happens for you?

This file is used only to display Gamma as a button in the "math panel"
dialog. I guess we do it this way in case you don't have a font with the
greek letters.
