Thanks for the example, it's quite informative. But hard-coding my
home directory into a LyX file (or even a per-user ~/.lyx/layouts file)
seems even more ugly to me then the hassle of a directory filled with
symlinks. How are multiple people supposed to work on the same document
out of a common CVS repository? Documents files, as source code, should
be location independent for processing, compilation, etc.
Of course (as I understand it) the real problem is with LyX's handling
of paths and it's use of temporary directories. Perhaps LyX itself
needs to muck with the \input@path stuff in the TeX file in generates
in it's temporary directory. I don't know enough about how LyX and TeX
work to say.
Has this problem been fixed in more recent versions of LyX? Is anyone
looking into it?
