I see this error too.

$ lyx <filename>.lyx
QGtkStyle cannot be used together with the GTK_Qt engine.
Warning: Document class not available
----------------------------------------
The layout file requested by this document,
paper.layout,
is not usable. This is probably because a LaTeX
class or style file required by it is not
available. See the Customization documentation
for more information.
LyX will not be able to produce output.


Furthermore I see it when lyx attempts to display its own help file:

Warning: Document class not available
----------------------------------------
The layout file requested by this document,
scrbook.layout,
is not usable. This is probably because a LaTeX
class or style file required by it is not
available. See the Customization documentation
for more information.
LyX will not be able to produce output.


Both files exist:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3013 Dec  7 19:42 /usr/share/lyx/layouts/paper.layout
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  561 Dec  7 19:42 
/usr/share/lyx/layouts/scrbook.layout


I've installed large amounts of Debian's TeX packages to no avail.  What 
is needed to actually get Lyx working properly?
