I am trying to figure out why after my upgrade from 1.4.x to 1.5.2 I lost 
my Export menu option and View choice for PDF (pdflatex).

It appears to be fine under my preferences.

I do have dvipdfm and ps2pdf but I don't want to use DVI or postscript 
first.

I see my user interface (stdmenus.inc) has ExportFormats. Where is the 
documented? Where is that defined? I don't see in docs for 1.5.2.

I have this converter definition:

LaTeX (pdflatex) -> PDF (pdflatex)
Converter: pdflatext $$i
Extra flag: latex

I have thjis File format:

PDF (pdflatex)
Format: pdf2 (I don't know that)
Shortcut: F
Viewer: xpdf
GUI name: PDF (pdflatex)
Extension: pdf
Editor: **nothing there**

Document format is not checked.
Vector graphics format is checked.

My log has:

/home/reed/.lyx/configure.log:checking for the pdflatex program...
/home/reed/.lyx/configure.log:+checking for "pdflatex"...   yes

My /home/reed/.lyx/lyxrc.defaults has:

\Format pdflatex   tex    "LaTeX (pdflatex)"      "" "" "gvim"  "document"
...
\Format pdf2       pdf    "PDF (pdflatex)"        F  "xpdf"     ""      
"document,vector"
...
\converter pdflatex   pdf2       "pdflatex $$i" "latex"

And ~/.lyx/preferences has:

\format "pdf2" "pdf" "PDF (pdflatex)" "F" "xpdf" "" "vector"
