| What I can see is that, if you say "no" to the creation of .lyx, the
| lastfiles and preferences files are created in your home dir. What
| should we do about it? Not save anything?
Should I be asked? I'm not.
| LyX should maybe just tell that it is about to create .lyx, but not
| let the possibility to avoid it (other than kill).
What Lars forgot to mention, is that this fresh install was a test I
did (on another computer) after I discovered the file
preferences.xform, preferences and lastfiles in my home-dir. These
files suddenly appeared after a cvs update on my computer that has
been running LyX happily (on ~/.lyx) for months.
Further investigation shows that regardless of any ~/.lyx directory or
not, LyX still reads from and writes to these files in ~/ Tried both
an empty ~/.lyx and the "old" dir that worked before.
If still a mystery, please provide directions, and I'll try to help
figure this out.
