Hello Ben, please continue this discussion on [EMAIL PROTECTED] I don't venture onto the user list as often as perhaps I should ;-) If you run "lyx -dbg lyxserver" you should get details of the conversation between the two programs. But you appear to know that already. I don't have LyX 1.2.3 installed here, but with LyX 1.3.2cvs (current stable branch) this works for me (below). I suspect therefore that gbib is sending a message that LyX 1.2.3 does not understand.
