How to reproduce
-----
1. Upgraded from LyX-2.0.0-rc2 to LyX-2.0.0-rc3.
2. Went Tools->Preferences => crash
3. Crashed 100% of the time until I went Tools->Reconfigure.  In other words, there was an incompatibility in the preferences file format between rc2 and rc3, and rc3 is not able to handle the old format without crashing.

Strange I never saw any report like this. :-(

Could you try the final lyx-2.0.0 version and see if the problem persist, if it does we will report it upstream.

As root it should be enough:

# yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing lyx

Thank you.
Comment 3 Luke Hutchison 2011-05-05 12:07:04 UTC 
Upgraded as requested, no crash this time on Tools->Preferences.  Sorry I didn't save a copy of the old prefs file before going Tools->Reconfigure. You may as well close this bug report if the backtrace doesn't help.
