Would you agree that un-installing and re-installing should normally restore the installation back to default settings and that when this does not happen one might should classify this as a bug?

This is stored in a specific Qt session file. The Qt session information is handled merely by Qt itself, independent from the LyX preferences files. On my side, this is at ~/.config/LyX/ Would you agree that un-installing and re-installing should normally restore the installation back to default settings and that when this does not happen one might should classify this as a bug? I'm not sure. I think this is not the case in any Qt driven app I've used. Jürgen

Missing Toolbars / Broken Installation
This request is related to an earlier thread (http://article.gmane.org/gmane.editors.lyx.general/71063) but I am starting a new thread here to help solve a specific broken installation. I copied stdmenus.inc and stdtoolbas.inc from C:\Program Files\LyX20\Resources\ui to C:\Documents and Settings\Ken\Application Data\LyX2.0\ui in order to edit/customize one of the toolbars. However, this caused none of my toolbars to load so I removed these files in an attempt to revert back to the default settings. However, I am still left without any toolbars in LyX. I have attempted to un-install LyX (including all user preferences) and to re-install LyX but this has not fixed the issue. When I document is open no toolbars appear. When all documents are close, there appears to be some sort of very,very small toolbar. Please see the attached screenshot. I have no idea how to fix this as I have completely un-installed and re-installed LyX without any luck. Where else might settings be stored which I need to clear? Windows registry? Another folder than the two mentioned above? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Ken attachment: lyx_toolbar.jpg
