Well, the user who runs lyx probably isn't member of the group "users",
is he?
The lyx user account was not a member of "users"
As Ralf suggested, I added the account to the "users" group, and now Lyx is
able to properly view dvi, ps and pdf files.
Thanks,
Jeremiah

We should probably make clear in the README that in the default setup,
nobody is member of that group...
