Bug#1008257: lyx: bash-completion not working

[Hernán Gustavo Solari]

Great!

 Somebody knowlegeable in bash-completion and the lyx command line
should look to the lyx-completion-script
 currently, if it detects "-e" it tries to complete with a filename
terminated in one of 'pdf PDF ps PS xhtml XHTML pdf1 pdf2 pdf3 pdf4
PDF1 PDF2 PDF3 PDF4' but what it is required is something in the list
of formats (from man page for lyx)
   -e [--export] fmt
             where  fmt  is the export format of choice (latex,
pdflatex, luatex, xetex, xhtml, text, lyx, ps, pdf, ...).

a line for the option "-e|--export"
	--export|-e)
	COMPREPLY=( $(compgen -W 'latex pdflatex luatex' -- $cur) );;

works.

I do not use lyx in the form:
lyx my.lyx -e pdflatex

that produces my.pdf using pdflatex, but if the completion line is
there, it should do the correct thing

lyx my.lyx -e <space><tab><tab>
returns with the suggested change 
latex pdflatex luatex

and
lyx my.lyx -e p<space><tab><tab>
returns "pdflatex"

thanks
