If you select language as French, LyX uses frenchb in babel (reasonable
enough!). However, this package overrides list formatting. In particular,
it overrides the settings for bullets, so that customizing them in LyX has
no effect.
By default, LyX should override this feature of frenchb, by adding

When reconciling my current lyxrc with the latest lyxrc.example, I found the

1. Some commented out commands have "# " before them (e.g. \serverpipe), but
most just "#". Something like s/# \\/#\\/ is what you need to fix it.
I can't easily find a pointer to the location of RPMs on www.lyx.org.

That's not true, because the sgml2tex script sets up the paths so that
