Also, for as long as I can remember (e.g. since 1.2.x) it is possible
to go to Edit->Preferences, File formats, select LaTeX and then set
the Viewer to your favorite
text viewer (I use gedit under Linux, under windows notepad would
probably suffice). Then click modify and save.
Also, the reason for a new view-source dialog (other than a
view->latex menu item that uses an external text viewer) is that the
dialog can show the underlying source code instantly, while you are
typing.
Also, the current View->LaTeX menu item incorrectly strips off all
graphics suffixes in your source file's \includegraphics fields, even
if they were explicitly specified in the LyX source. This happens
both for "plain" and pdflatex viewing (I'm not even going to ask
why!), and it can cause wrong output when you actually try to use
that latex file (by saving it from your text viewer and running latex
on it)! I've pointed this out for the export feature in Bug 2764.
