Not if you scrub this lyxrc variable (having written a default
script to invoke dvips of course).

It's invoked by the controller. Indeed, it should probably be
moved into the controller. It's certainly hidden from the view.

You're trying to write a useable app. If, in the process, you
can make it configurable then well and good. Think "benvolent
dictatorship" where the dictator is the group of coders willing
to do something other than whine ;-)
Or write a filter that will prevent ridiculous input:
int fl_print_filter(FL_OBJECT *, char const *, char const *, int c)
{
if (c == 0 || strchr("0123456789,-", c))
return FL_VALID;
return FL_INVALID|FL_RINGBELL;
}
