Another one for the developers

I have tried the Client.pm with LyX 1.5.6 (on openSUSE 11.0).
It works but not out of the box.

The problem is that Client.pm expects to find the serverpipe assignments
in the file: .lyx/lyxrc
I don't think that Client.pm has been changed since 1999.

LyX now seems to write the serverpipe assignment in the file:
./lyx/preferences and there is no file lyxrc (although there is a
lyxrc.default).

What is the most principled way to proceed?
Every thing works fine if I copy lyxrc.default to lyxrc and edit the
file to include the statement:
\serverpipe "~.lyxpipe"

But should the Client.pm program be altered to read the file: preferences?

I am willing to make the necessary changes and submit them.
