It turns out that I don't even have a Resources directory in /usr/local/lyx-1.5.2! Here's what I did: $ cd /usr/local/lyx-1.5.2 $ mkdir Resources $ cd Resources ; mkdir ui ; cd ui ; touch default.ui ; touch stdmenus.inc Can these files be created like that, or does there need to be certain content in them? Shouldn't they get created through the normal configure/make/make install sequence? There was one line in ~/.lyx/preferences that had a \ui line, which I commented out. As for ~/.lyx/ui, that directory was empty, so no changes were made there. Lyx still has the toolbars missing when re-launched, though. ~ Eric.
