Thanks for your comments. Here are further system details:

Xubuntu 8.10 with xserver-common version: 2:1.5.2-2ubuntu3
Usually, I use XFCE4 version: 4.4.2.1, I tried it now also with openbox
after Richard Hecks's tip. It was a little bit faster though, but still
not usable.

Graphics card is coming with the mainboard 865G chipset (integrated
graphic).

The problem is only happening for LyX 1.6.0. LyX 1.5.6 works as
expected on the same system.

FYI, I filed a bug report: 
http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5582
A similar faulty situation seems to occur at
http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5524

Anything else to check? Thanks for helping me narrow down this problem.
