Ok, I downloaded the lyx-1.3.2.tar.bz2, extracted it, copied arabtex.diff to 
the src directory and applied the patch
[munzir at localhost src]$ patch --verbose < arabtex.diff
Hmm...  Looks like a unified diff to me...

I am really sad to hear this. To add a newline at the end of the document is 
something which could be done by hand for Arab users but what about the 
general problem which is really annoying. Please, if no one can do it, I hope 
one, at least, specify guidelines in how it could be solved and what files 
need to be modified, or whether a patch needed for arabtex itself. May be 
someone at arabeyes.org could do something here.
