Debian 12 and Lyx 2.3.7-1

[Peter]

OK, tried installing LXQT, and Lyx still has problems.  As it does on Fluxbox even after LXQT is installed.  I also tried FVWM and that doesn't work properly either.  But ICEWM and MATE both are fine.  So it seems to be something in Lyx and its definitely not just Fluxbox.

Its very easy to go to another WM in Fluxbox, its just a menu item and it switches on the fly, so I shall make do with that for now, switch to ICE when using Lyx, and hope the next release fixes it.  I don't want to move as a regular thing from Fluxbox, its so easy and uncluttered, I've customized it to my taste, and its been interesting trying the other WMs because of this, I don't like any of them compared to Fluxbox.  Maybe I3. 

I wondered could it be the display manager, but it works with ICE using the current one which seems to exclude that.
