It rules out me misconfiguring Qt for Debian--which is good so now I can custom compile KDE3.2 CVS for Pentium 3.
What I have discovered is that all but 2 Qt based Panes/Panels/Views launch when running
lyx -dbg gui.
The SpellChecker launches the following error:
Can't open /usr/lib/ispell/english.hash.
The discovery for this error is that english.hash does not exist. doh!
I've got american.hash and british.hash which of course we know are two different forms of english!
Perhaps that is an error on LyX dev's part by not accounting for the differing types of ispell english systems?
Ironically, when running LyX 1.3.2 I notice the Spellchecker Preference also has English listed but since there is not "English" option I'd expect it to need to be fixed as well.
I'm guessing ispell when I updated split the two languages and didn't offer some sort of place holder for English.hash.
Now to fix this in LyX 1.3.3 I hoped to launch Preferences and this is where I get the infamous QWidget error concerning repaint().
It's my contention that a certain method using repaint() within the Preferences Panel violates the Qt method for such and thus craps out.
I'm not a C++ coder so I'm not about to guess what if at all is wrong.
Here is the dbg gui last bits from attempting to launch the Spellchecker view to my failed attempt to launch the Preferences view.

Perhaps this is partly the reason that Debian has yet to update their Debs?

P.S. From what I could tell just briefly was the response times were indeed snappier in 1.3.3 than 1.3.2, when it doesn't crash.
