It seems that when python is called to interpret lyxpreview2ppm.py an unquoted path is used, so if there are spaces in it ... A batch file can be used to overcome this bug. Find it in the "LyX 1.3.6pre and cygwin" thread, it can also be used without cygwin. The real solution would be to correct the lyx sources such as to quote that path when calling lyxpreview2ppm.py.
