Not all session stuff is in the preference dialog yet. There should be
'save windows position' (a checkbox) and windows width and height (two
edit boxes) that allow you to set fixed windows size.

I don't have this. (See attached screen shot.)

I do not have time to check this right now, but you can at least have
a look at ~/.lyx/session and see if you have WindowHeight and
WindowWidth values saved and changed when you close lyx.

If I delete the session file, open LyX, adjust window size, open the  
User's Guide, move the cursor, and quit LyX, the resulting session  
file is:

## Automatically generated lyx session file
## Editing this file manually may cause lyx to crash.
