Dear all,
I have installed qpdfview and although system-wide Evince is the
default PDF viewer, Lyx preferes qpdfview. Is there a way to tell Lyx
to select Evince? I have uninstalled qpdfview and the pdflatex option
is grayed out.
Thanks in advance!

Matej's suggestion definitely works, with the caveat that you need to do
it for each type of PDF output you use. If you export to multiple PDF
formats (dvipdfm, pdflatex, ...), it might be easier to open
~/.lyx/lyxrc.defaults in a text editor and do a global
search-and-replace, changing "qpdfview" to "evince" in all lines
starting "\viewer_alternatives pdf".
Note that, with either approach, if you reinstall qpdfview, the next
time you run reconfigure it's liable to break again.
