Yes and no. The format has changed, but LyX converts old files on the fly. Your problem is that with specifying --with-version-suffix=-1.4qt you told LyX to use /home/slitt/.lyx-1.4qt as personal directory. If it would use the old one it would really screw up your old LyX. Simply copy or link all custom layout files to /home/slitt/.lyx-1.4qt/layouts, and it should work after a reconfigure. Georg
