Yes, that test works. The problems are more difficult to track than that, 
like LyX failing to produce output when I select UTF8 as the encoding, 
which according to the documentation should work. I had to go back to use 
latin1 instead, which seems to work - mostly.

Or trying the docbook article template, which fails completely with: "An 
error occurred whilst running sgmltools -b dvi 'newfile1.sgml'", which is 
a lot of help:


Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/sgmltools", line 83, in <module>
    tool.processFile(curfile)
  File "/usr/share/sgml/misc/sgmltools/python/SGMLtools.py", line 230, in 
processFile
    dssslfile = utils.findStylesheet(stylesheet, self._aliases)
  File "/usr/share/sgml/misc/sgmltools/python/utils.py", line 307, in 
findStylesheet
    return findStylesheet(name, aliases)
  File "/usr/share/sgml/misc/sgmltools/python/utils.py", line 317, in 
findStylesheet
    raise IOError, "Couldn't resolve pubid [%s]" % id
IOError: Couldn't resolve pubid ["-//SGMLtools//DOCUMENT Docbook Style Sheet for 
Print//EN"]
Error: Cannot convert file

Which somehow sounds familiar.

It is working, but not fully.
