Thank you for the suggestion. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be the problem. I removed the LyX and LyX-1.4 directories and restarted LyX, but it still crashed when I tried to open Preferences.

I just installed LyX/Mac 1.4.0 and tried to open Preferences. LyX crashed. I restarted it and opened a recent document, then tried to open Preferences again. Instead of Preferences, the About window opened. Clicking on the About menu item caused the status bar to display "(buffer-export fax)." This is a weird way of working.

I wonder if you have old .ui or .bind files you're trying to use with 1.4.0; these are incompatible and should be deleted from ~/ Library/Application Support/LyX-1.4/[ui,bind].

If that's not the case, try simply moving aside the entire ~/ Library/Application Support/LyX-1.4 directory and restarting LyX. Does that solve the problem?
