Hi Dekel,
I did some checking, and I found some validity in Nick Burgan's message: the
documents that are still stored in my ~/gdb/My Documents directory still show
this problem. (A short example attached at the end of this message.) This
same document, when placed in ~/gdb does not show this problem. However, I
know that in the past other documents in my ~/gdb directory have shown this
problem as well. However, since that time, I have done as others suggested
and opened the LyX files in emacs to check for any mangled contents. And, I
think I even this did not resolve the problem.
If my memory serves me, I went ahead and re-imported the files into a new
file to correct the problem. (Then I went ahead and removed the old file, and
renamed the new file to the old name.) During the import process, I do
recall seeing babel files in my home directory, but believe that I removed
them as I did the rest of the cleanup.

When I first installed 1.1.6fix1 I was having the same problem. After messing
around for ages what seemed to be causing the problem was that I had a space
in the name of the directory in which the file was located. If you remove any
spaces or other strange characters (dashes "-" etc ) from the everywhere in
the directory tree of the file the problem goes away. Or if you move the file
to another appropriately named directory and open it from there, there is no
problem.
I hope this is of some help

is how Frank Zappa introduces this performance of compositions culled from
his 30+ year career as a composer, musician and band leader.
These are some of his most engaging, evocative and provocative pieces superbly
performed in a form accessible to both new and experienced listeners.
See why many consider Frank Zappa to be one of the most influential composers
of the century.
