I cannot reproduce exactly but partly. When I try to launch lyx from the 
gui, I don't get a window, but somewhere lyx is running. When I launch 
it from the commandline, it does work.

In kde plasma everything works fine under wayland.

This all on openSUSE Tumbleweed.

You can add "QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb" before the command "lyx", which forces 
xwayland.

BTW: it was not the intention to have RC4 already in tumbleweed, but it 
slipped through with Easter. Reverting would cause more problems, I think.
