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? 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.
As Richard said (beating me to the punch), the ui files have predetermined content, so empty files won't do the trick.
Not having .../Resources means you also don't have bind files, keyboard maps and, critically, the scripts for doing things like configuring LyX and converting graphics. So the menu problem (aggravating as it is) is just the tip of the iceberg. Not running LyX under Linux myself, I want to make sure I didn't lead you down the garden path. The LyX binaries are in /usr/local/lyx-1.5.2/bin, right? What directories do you have under /usr/local/lyx-1.5.2? (Just in case the Linux directory layout is different than what I'm used to under Windoze.)
