My LaTeX preamble is:

\include{preamble}

I have also tried:

\include{/full/path/preamble.tex}

I also have:

\begin{figure} [a LyX generated "Input:history.tex"]\caption{MyCaption}%
\end{figure}.  

I also tried a LyX generated "Include:history.tex".  I used LyX's browse
button and selected this file.  LyX did not pick up the full path.

Neither LyX 1.03 nor LyX 1.04pre2 re-runs LaTeX after changes to my  ***
preamble or included .tex file upon an "Update Postscript".          ***

Update DVI seems to, but only detects changes if the file is NOT specified
full path.

If the DVI algorithm works and the PS does not, remember that they are the
*same* function, with the addition of a dvips for the PS.  Surely one can
build upon the other.  Why does PS have a separate algorithm?
