As ever, LyX will be working with a wide vareity of other software, not just the lastest versions of your favourite distributions. So, no, I don't think that you can remove it. However, you *can* make the configure.py script more intelligent to choose whether to use it or not. clean_dvi.py is, as you say, a workaround for other broken software. In particular, it enables software that reads .dvi files to find graphics files when the paths to thesse graphics files contain spaces. As I understand it, the real thing to fix is graphicx.sty. Alternatively, work out what your particular .sty file that is having problems is having problems with and fix that. Regards, Angus
