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.
