Thanks for the tips, Bennett.
I'm still not sure if I totally understand, though. If I leave the
LyX.app/Contents/Resources/ui file in the preferences, won't this
mean that any of my settings for position of the toolbars and default
visibility would be lost next time I overwrite LyX.app with an update?
Thanks again,
Lee.

Ah... I compared this file to the file at LyX.app/Contents/
Resources/ui/default.ui , as mentioned by you in a different
thread. This has the extra lines referring to the extra toolbars,
so I copied this to the ~/Library/Application Support/LyX-1.5/ui/
default.ui location. It all works fine now. Thank you so much for
your help!!
You should leave the copy in LyX.app/Contents/Resources/ui where it
is and simply delete the other copy in ~/Library/Application
Support/LyX-1.5/ui. Otherwise, when you upgrade to LyX-1.6, you'll
have the same problem again.
The thing is, I've not ever manually created this file (nor
redirected the link in the preferences). Did this automatically
occur because I changed the (auto), etc. parameters of the
toolbars? Generally, if I leave the link in the preferences
pointing to within the package contents of LyX.app, would this not
respect my preferences for toolbar placements, when I upgraded
LyX? Alternatively, if I left the link pointing to my Library,
wouldn't this not update accordingly, in similar situations to 1.4
-> 1.5, and I would have these problems again?
The only way for default.ui to have gotten into ~/Library/
Application Support is for you to have copied it there. Now you
might have done so in ~/Library/Application Support/LyX-1.4, and
when you ran the installer to upgrade to LyX-1.5 it automatically
moved everything over. But that's as it should be: LyX will try its
best to preserve your setup (though if you run the LyX-1.5
installer, you'll note the warning it throws up about .bind and .ui
files that may be incompatible with the new version).
