This is always going to be the case with a flexible piece of software. LyX is conceptually very simple because it does little more than produce a reasonable on-screen view of the document. Everything else it does is through interaction with /lots/ of other software (incl LaTeX). Most preferences are to do with this interaction.

Or maybe you don't use that particular piece of external software very often. Angus
