It seems to me that from the dawn of time (2001 for me), getting LyX to work with a layout file anywhere but /home/myuid/.lyx/layouts was extremely difficult, with no reproducible procedure. You'd create a symlink from where the file really existed to /home/myuid/.lyx/layouts, and then after about an hour of fiddling around, the document class would somehow magically show up in your list.
Steve, Most of my layouts are in /usr/local/share/lyx/layouts/, but a few are in ~/.lyx/layouts. I've not had any issues using them from either place regardless of LyX version. I have no LyX layouts with an .src extension. Obviously, our milages vary. Rich -- Richard B.
