One thing to note: The default is to build LyX with the same preferences directory as LyX 1.6! Perhaps you had the problems with 1.6 because of reading and writing LyX 1.6 the same files as LyX 2.0 - when starting LyX from terminal you may add -dbg lyxrc as command line arguments to verify that. You have to add e.g. --with-version-suffix=-2.0 to make LyX 2.0 using a parallel $HOME/.lyx-2.0 directory for it's settings. > I think I'll file this as a bug under LyX with Debian...
