I just tried to use the Cygwin port of lyx. It cannot cope with my
home directory, which appears as //fs-sj1-15/darnstein in Cygwin. This
is a network directory, obviously.

When lyx starts up, it emits a complaint
        QSettings: error creating /fs-sj1-15/darnstein/.qt

When I try to save a lyx document to my home directory, lyx complains
when it presents its file browser dialog box. It says
        Could not read directory /fs-sj1-15

It appears that lyx is trying to access the root directory (/). It
does not seem to know how to interpret the Windows syntax "//."


So mounting the share should work-around this issue, right?
