OK… I just found I had put the “-shell-escape” string in the wrong cell…
I have now changed the preferences, and inserted this string in both of the
XeTeX and LuaTeX converters from LaTeX to PDF.
Now, I get the (expected) warning that using the “-shell-escape” string is
*dangerous*.
Question 1:
* Dangerous, because LyX is more likely to *crash*, or
* Dangerous, because it opens up my computer to hacking??
Experience – here is some listing in LyX:

This expression is taken from a Jupyter Notebook running in VSCode (language:
Julia), where the symbols are created by “\frakm + TAB \dot + TAB = m\dot + TAB
v”
…and here is what it looks like when I use XeTeX/LuaTeX:

Questions 2:
* Could I expect a better response if I install a font that supports
Unicode, and specifies this font in the fonts scheme of Listings?
* If I install such a font with Unicode support (e.g., JuliaMono), would
that rule out using XeTeX so that I should use LuaTeX?
Question 3:
* If I should use LuaTeX, how can I change LyX so that issuing command
Ctrl+r produces the PDF using LuaTeX?

OK -- this is the status on my on-going experimentation on Windows 11... (I
hope I'm almost there):
1. I experiment with KOMA script Book
2. I have:
* Upgraded all packages in MikTeX
* Installed Pygments ("pip install Pygments" in Windows Prompt)
* Figured out where the "pygmetize" script is located on my computer,
and added location to PATH.
* In the LyX document, Documents/Settings/Fonts, checked "use non-TeX fonts
* In the Documents/Settings/Listings, changed "Syntax Highlighting Package"
to "minted"
[This didn't work until I set the PATH to "pygmetize"]
* In Tools/Preferences/File Handling/Converters, added "-shell-escape" at
the end
of the Converter line:

[This line is slightly different from the Embedded document,
since that assumed pdflatex as converter).
3. STATUS:
[cid:image002.png@01DA90D8.479231F0]
QUESTION 1: What is wrong? I *did* envoke the “-shell-escape” flag, didn’t I?
QUESTION 2: By default, Ctrl+R is keyboard shortcut for generating PDF via
pdflatex. After I chose “use non-TeX fonts”, Ctrl+R implies generating PDF via
XeTeX. How can I change the set-up so that Ctrl+R implies using luatex?
