That's wrong. On posix systems, the user directory is ~/.PACKAGE, where PACKAGE=lyx if you don't use --with-version-suffix at configure time, otherwise the suffix is appended to the string "lyx". Moreover, PACKAGE also sets the text domain for translations, such that you can have different translation files for different suffixes. -- Enrico
