You could compare the output of "ldd" on the binaries. Maybe this will work: ldd "$(which lyx)" Not sure what else to look at. Do both use the same file system? I think you can figure this out with the following command: df -h <path/to/file.tex> > Also, is there any place where a Qt configuration file would be stored that > would explain why the native true/false thing has no impact on my desktop > but a big impact on my laptop? (All I know about Qt is the spelling.) There is such thing as Qt preferences but I don't have any experience with setting them. Scott
