Hi Bjorn, I had an almost identical problem a few months ago, on Ubuntu 11.04. In my case, the solution that fixed the problem was to uninstall LyX through Synaptic, download the latest stable LyX from LyX.org, and then install it the old fashioned way, ./configure;make;make install. Be aware that LyX has some pretty hairy dependencies, especially as concerns Qt4. I basically had to install almost everything having to do with Qt4 to get it to work, but once so installed, LyX worked perfectly. My solution is consistent with the advice given by the LyX mailing list, which is that Ubuntu 11.04 ships with an incomplete LyX guaranteed to screw up. Hope this helps.
