I have always thought it was pronounced leek, as in "latek".
Other people whom I speak to pronounced it "leeks". Perhaps
my inclination is a borrowed habit from the friend who
introduced me to LyX back in 2001. Either way, this reminds
me of {(Open)SuSE}OR{SUSE} and {Linux}OR{GNU/Linux}
controversies, let alone the pronunciation of Linux and
SuSE.
