LyX 2.0.2: default viewers when using XeTeX

Hi all. It seems that when changing Document: Settings: Font to use non-TeX fonts, LyX will then change the default viewer action to be DVI (LuaTeX). This doesn't work for me as I'm trying to use XeTeX. Is it possible to specify the default viewer in this context? Many thanks, as always. ~:justin
