Tools  Preferences  File Handling  File Formats

and then, in Format there is a list where you can choose the wanted
file format. There are several PDF (...) entries. Below the list you
can change the Viewer. If you Apply the change is temporary, e.g.
for testing, if you Save the change is permanent.

Thanks Ignacio,

I looked there, but there was only one file format in evidence being:
BibTex and no other. So I created one for PDF, and used XPDF as the
viewer. It still loaded KPDF.

But it's solved anyway. A reboot of the system and the KDE stuff loaded
as normal. I'm just not accustomed to doing the windows reboot stuff to
get things working in Linux.

Thanks for taking the time to suggest a fix, it's appreciated

Be well,
Charlie

The Format list is a pull-down (long) one, clic you the button to see it.
You can get more info in the section C.7.2 of the User Guide manual and
3.1 of the Customization manual (Help Menu)

There is no need reboot the system. For some configuration changes LyX
may need a Tools  Reconfigure and restart LyX.
