I've just noticed that after closing and reopening LyX, the PDF export options 
don't stay. Each time, I can run Reconfigure and the PDF options reappear (as 
well as DVI and Postscript options). All the files in .lyx are u+rw, though - 
there doesn't seem to be any reason why it would do this.

Strangely, I've now tried purging the fonts-extra package and after I run 
Reconfigure, the PDF options show in the export menu anyway (but don't stay 
there after I close LyX). I know I ran Reconfigure, without success, before I 
tried installing fonts-extra.

Well, maybe the package triggers caused regeneration of some files that made 
LyX happier. :-/

Attached. This is when I ran it before installing texlive-fonts-extra. I've 
checked and it's identical to the configure.log after purging fonts-extra. Also 
attached is the configure.log when texlive-fonts-extras is installed.

Peace,
Brendon
