Didn't work. (I assume the Preferences form should change colors, and it
doesn't, even if I close & reopen.)

I do have a new document with a bit of typing in it open.

Some really weird stuff is going on, though.
I do the following:
src/lyx .../splash.lyx
Edit->Preferences (Look and Feel-> Screen Fonts form shows up)
Close
Edit->Preferences (Look and Feel-> Screen Fonts form shows up)
select Colors
There are twice as many LyX objects! That is, the order of objects was
GUI background
GUI text
GUI pushbutton
GUI background
GUI text
GUI pushbutton
followed by
background
foreground
...
button background
background
foreground
...
button background
I can make more copies of the LyX objects by re-closing/opening Preferences.
(Note that in the example above, I didn't select the Colors form until the
second time I opened Preferences.) I assume this isn't supposed to happen.
Note that the colors list in that box doesn't get duplicated.
I guess maybe the new objects' colors are changed, but the old objects are
still the same, so I don't see any results. Or something.

OK, maybe.

Thanks for the fast fix. I'll keep trying CVS.
