David's message prompted to check its man page and indeed, tha page says that the personal dictionary is saved in $HOME/.hunspell_default which did not exist in my case. Creating it not solve the problem, however. It remains empty after I save words to the personal dictionary from within LyX. Anyone has any clue on how to fix this? The wiki page is silent on the issue.
