Hi again,

Interestingly, I just discovered, that it seems to work fine with a
document I created by myself.

Should I also mention, that I had another version of Lyx before? That
was the one packaged with my Ubuntu. I removed it with 'apt-get remove
lyx' before installing texlive and the new LyX.

Any help is much appreciated.
