Sorry to waste everyone's time---of course \mbox{} works as
expected in a Lyx-list. My problem seems to really be
one of inexplicable caching (or something) between LyX and Xdvi.
I seem to get in some state where quitting Xdvi, then invoking
File->View dvi from the LyX menu does not show the effect of
a change in the document---paper margins, adding \mbox{} around
some text, or whatever. Is there a set of maneuvers that will
guarantee that Xdvi shows the results from the current source?
It seems that once the system starts showing the current changes,
it continues to do so, at least for some time. But then it
stops for some reason. Very strange...
I've noticed a couple of times that invoking File->View dvi
causes some disk activity, but never actually brings up Xdvi.
Then after a second try, it succeeds. Maybe the two problems
are related.
FWIW, I'm using the LyX-1.0.1 that installed with my SuSE 6.3.
I downloaded the 1.1.5-fix1... files and the SUSE/1.1.5-10a.i386.rpm
from the sylvan ftp site, but won't have a chance to install
anything for a few days at least. Can someone explain what
the SUSE 10 and 10a versions are all about. Since I'm running
SUSE, it seemed appropriate to download it, and 10a sounded
further along than 10, but what do I know... :)
Cheers,
Jim
