That was it!

I learned a lot:

- LyX does read .Xdefaults (Also version 1.1.6)!

- Since 1.1.6 LyX no longer understands "width" and "height" arguments.

- The colon is important: 

  "-some_option value" becomes "LyX*some_option: value" in .Xdefaults
  
- Changes in .Xdefaults will be in effect only after a restart of the
  X-server. 


Thanks a lot
