No.

The problem is Debian will release sometime soon (at least I hope so) a
new stable release where the issue seems to be resolved and the LyX project
is also working on a new major release 2.0 where I hope (haven't tested it
and I've no time to do so currently) that this issue is solved aswell.
I appreciate that you've brought that issue to our attention so that we can
assure it's solved in future releases. I hope you can understand that the
incentive to dig now for the root cause of this problem is very sparse.

Cheers,
Sven
