Hmm, you're right. I repeated the pdflatexing of the tutorial and captured
the debugging information with
nice -n 20 lyx -dbg latex 2>&1 | tee ~/Temp/lyx-dbg_latex.out &
The error messages seem to indicate a missing font problem. Upon
examining the PDF file, it seems that the headings are gone.
Equations and tables are fine. That was on the Lyx file invoked by
Help->Tutorial.
To see if figures are good, I tried pdflatexing the user guide from
Help->UserGuide. It was missing a class.
The messages in the log from pdflatexing the Tutorial are quite voluminous.
I'll take snippets where they seem to be the relevant:

LyX will not be able to produce output.
The temp file directories for that attempt was empty.
Anyway, it looks like I got me some font problems and class problems
to resolve before I can print out line online documents. I will look
into it further on my next attempt at Lyx.

Found it. Will also give that a try on my next attempt. A simple
work around now is simply to close the file. I might have many PDFs
open with Acrobat reader, so I don't want to shut down the reader.
Thanks for your helpful hints in pointing out where the problems and
some of the solutions might lie.
