LyX dies when started on display :0.1

2003-01-20 Thread Thomas Steffen
Hi, it seems I found a strange bug in LyX when used on the second of two X screens. When I start X on the main screen (:0.0), everything is fine. But when I start on the second screen of my dual screen setup (:0.1), it crashes as soon as I open a new or an existing file. So I suppose it could be
