@Angus: This works for all users because I packed the "preferences" ile

And what happens when the user makes changes to his preferences? Do these
system-wide preferences get stored in the local preferences file?

No, the preferences file isn't copied to the ~\Application Data\LyX folder. Every user can have its own preferences.

That's not quite what I meant. What I meant was:

If you have a preferences file in
  C:\Progrm Files\LyX\Resources\lyx

and I tune my preferences, creating a preferences file in
  C:\Documents and Settings\Angus\Application Data\LyX

will my new preferences file contain all the tweaks that are in your original, or are these now lost. Because I do know that only the second, user preferences file will be read now that it exists.
