I updated my computer yesterday & it broke lyx with the same SIGSEGV. However this relates to lyx 1.5.4 (/usr/local/bin/lyx) that I have compiled myself. Lyx 1.5.3 from ubuntu (/usr/bin/lyx) did not have this bug on my machine.
So far so good: one might argue that I should have recompiled lyx for the interfaces to match after the update.

Yet, getting rid of ~/.config/Trolltech.conf solved the problem!
Please try by yourself :
$ mv ~/.config/Trolltech.conf ~/.config/Trolltech.conf.bak
and please report if it solves the problem.

This might mean this bug is related to bug #197950 -- the symptoms are different but the workaround is the same.

I add qt4 to the list, since it seems to be related to qt4. (before you ask, yes, yesterday's update got qt4.4 on my computer)
