- Do we really need to export PDF in many different ways? My machine
at work suggests PDF (just PDF), PDF (pdflatex), and a third one
(don't remember). Can't we just offer the best one?

In a word: "No."

At least not until the figure inset (a.k.a. oldgraphics inset) is
completely replaced by the graphics inset.  The graphics inset can
then convert graphics to suitable formats (eps->pdf for example) and
we could set a ranking of:
        pdflatex
        latex->dvips->ps2pdf
        some other convoluted conversion process

However, I don't have a problem with seeing choices for the conversion
processes in the menus.  Then again, I always use pdflatex if I want
pdf.

So this entry should probably be shifted to the "won't fix until after
1.2.x" collection.
