I was thinking that it would be best to run it under xnest so that a VM is not required. However there still is the issue of protecting the user from LyX's random actions. 1) The simplest way is to "sudo -u nobody" the test. However this requires sudo privileges and willingness to use them. Also I am not sure how well an interactive sudo prompt would would with make. 2) Plash (plash.beasts.org), Systrace or plasticfs could be used, but these are not in the (Ubuntu) repos. 3) One could also change $HOME and hope for the best, but I wouldn't trust this. Any opinions on these. -- John C. McCabe-Dansted PhD Student University of Western Australia
