The lyx versions 1.3.15 and 1.3.16 crashes if they are installed via portage. However, if I simply unpack the lyx-1.3.15 tarball in the root directory, this version works nicely. Unfortunately not the lyx-1.3.16 version...
No such versions in portage.
You have right, I mean lyx-1.3.5-r2 and lyx-1.3.6
Is this still a problem with 1.4.0?
Same problem here. I used links 1.3.5-r2.

1.4.1-r1 works great and the gnome support probably makes it look awfully much nicer on my system. If you are interested in a valgrind output for the 1.3.6-r2 version with debugger information, just comment below as I have added myself in the CC list. For as now, my advise is to mark 1.4.1-r1 as stable, unless there are other problems with this version.

1.4.1-r1 is stable now, so resolving.
