I am afraid we won't be able to do much with this. What you show is open
dialog, which I guess is generic across many different applications on your
system as it's brokeness is probably not unique to LyX.

If I was to guess I'd probably check whether your graphical drivers
are correct/can be updated/etc.

Second option is to try different desktop than mate, but I'm sceptical
this would change much...
