Version: KDE4 (using KDE 4.0.0) Installed from: SuSE RPMs OS: Linux Attempting to display *.fig or *.eps graphics in a LyX window crashes LyX. As long as no such graphic appears in the window LyX behaves perfectly. Removing KDE4 resolves the problem. This bug appears as bug 4519, duplicating bug 4409 on bugzilla.lyx.org.
From the LyX ML, it seems that the problem is related to the qt4 libs, not to kde4 itself. What versions of LyX and qt4 did you used? Eventually you could try to update them.

Since KDE installs such a plugin for the EPS format, every Qt application picks that plugin as well. Unfortunately in KDE4 the EPS plugin used a class which is only available in applications which use KApplication instead of QApplication, so the plugin asserted and Lyx was terminated. I've fixed that issue in trunk and the KDE4.0 branch (will be part of 4.0.1 release) now by using only Qt classes in the EPS plugin. [...] I will wait for 4.0.1 and check that this is the answer. John
