a. set the charset to iso10646-1

If you can't run the appropriate kde programs to set that up, this is
set in $HOME/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals (or something similar)

b. Hetz or anyone else: why exactly kde is so annoyed with the charset
being set to iso8859-8 that it prevents kde programs from running?

In case nobody gives you a better answer: check the scripts that get run.
There is a good chance that /etc/X11/Xsession is called somewhere. But it
depends on which login manager you use (gdm or kdm): eA\ach of those holds
the login scripts in different places.

It is quite possible that a generic "X starting" script gets called with
the parameter "start a gnome session", but ignores this parameter and
defaults to a kde session.

You mean that hebrew letters appear like accented latin characters, right?

So you use an iso-8859-1 (latin1) font, and not an iso8859-8 one. You can
set this in lyx's display settings (there are seperate settings for
displayof menus and for the display of the textitself).

Do you have some decent hebrew fonts installed?
