I must say that with XeTeX, LyX is very nice to work with! I hope XeTeX
support will become better in time, since to me it seems XeTeX is the
future of TeX in general, especially since it can use normal fonts (that
alone is a killer feature.)
Since yesterday, the development version (2.0svn) automatically choses
polyglossia with XeTeX and the problems described here should all be solved.
I actually compiled from SVN last night (36437) but it doesn't seem to
like me much. It aborts at startup with a memory allocation exception.
I guess this kind of thing is sometimes to be expected when using
building from SVN though.
