Which directory should I remove under my lyx directory (located at
/usr/local/lyx-1.5.2) ?
Thanks,

It might be worth checking the following:
1. Make sure /usr/local/lyx-1.5.2/Resources/ui contains default.ui and
stdmenus.inc.
2. Locate the preferences file in your user directory (probably
~/.lyx). Edit out any entry starting with \ui_file.
3. Check the ui folder under your user directory (likely ~/.lyx/ui) and
move or rename any hacked version of default.ui that might be there.
4. Restart LyX.
I've seen the menus and toolbars disappear if LyX starts with a
customized user interface that it can't digest for some reason.
Thanks for the tips. 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?
Yes, they need content, and yes, they should get copied. If they didn't
get copied, there's a bug in the install script, or something.
