I run the same versions of X and LyX... And the same X server.

Did you try switching to a different window manager? Does LyX work if
you try using blackbox or WindowMaker, or some other?

Which font server are you running?
I just realized that I'm running XFree86 3.3.6-11, but with the font
server from X 4.0.1:
$ dpkg -l xfs*
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed
|/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)
||/ Name Version Description
+++-================-================-================================================
ii xfs 4.0.1-0phase2v15 X font server
pn xfs-xtt <none> (no description available)
ii xfstt 1.1 TrueType Font Server for X11
I had tried X 4.0.1, and then switched back to 3.3.6, but it seems
that some packages remained... I don't know if this package is too
different from the one which came with 3.3.6, but it seems to work
here.
Maybe you'd like to try getting the newer .deb of xfs at
http://www.debian.org/~branden and install it by hand?
Hope this helps...
