I don't think I would fault anyone for being dependent upon package
management systems on a distro. I've been using debian since -- I have
no idea how long --- and have found that the package management is now
very, very good (it wasn't so smart at first), and it is very difficult
to avoid difficulties if you oppose its wishes.
I am also using 2.0.0, under debian testing (wheezy).

I see these phenomena as well (I use gnome, but it seems that this is an
issue about LyX that is independent of the window-manager). If you just
right-click on the misspelled word when using continuous spellchecking
(something I thought I would never do, but I do like it now), you do not
get those keyboard shortcuts at all. Maybe they need to be removed from
the spellchecker window, or changed to avoid the conflicts. This may
also depend upon how you set up your LyX shortcuts. I use cua with a
few additions (not conflicting with these commands).
One thing to note is that, if the spellchecker window has the focus, you
can use the shortcuts. But typically the focus would be on the main
window, and since that gets the focus the shortcuts would go to its
menu. So you have to use the mouse, no matter what, at least to shift
the input focus to the spellchecker window.
