It's hard to answer this sort of question without an example file, so
you could posting one.
As for \setupThesis, did you insert this under Document> Settings> LaTeX
Preamble?

I understand and value this decision. However, my concern is to find out if at the core of the issue is something we can improve in LyX. So, if you have some time, it would be nice if you could produce a minimal working example (i.e. a test document with the minimal requirements and preamble code and content that still shows the problem). >>> thanks for your reply.

OK. If there are German words in the document AND you set the langugage of the text part with German words to German, LyX will pass this setting to LaTeX - loading babel or polyglossia in the preabmle with all languages (explicitely) used in the document. If global settings is on, the language settings are there for all packages to share, otherwise they are given directly to the babel package. Usually, global is fine, as this ensures that indices and similar are also localized to the document language. However there may sometimes be an undesired side-effect, if the document language is not supported by some package while one of the secondary languages is... Günter

Not for me: ... my linguistic papers are all written in English, LyX's interface is also set to English just like everything else - nothing is set to German.

However, I checked all settings one more time (document, global settings, preamble, openSuSE's interface language and installation, whatsoever) and there is not the faintest indication that something is set to German. If a German setting should be hidden in / triggered by a Default setting than IMHO it is still illogical. Of course, there are some German words in the document, but then there are also Indonesian, Greek words etc. in it. Anyway, my brilliant idea ;-) produced what is needed and the last thing I want is an academic discussion of this issue. LyX is just great and so is the list. Michael

You may try to start your document with
\maketitle
as ERT (raw LaTeX, press Ctrl-L and write the command).
Normally, LyX automatically inserts this command if you use author or title
layouts. So, alternatively, you may try to specify them "the normal way".
