We can have a tooltip explaining how it works.
Do you support allowing relative paths for all the fields in the paths tab or only working directory? If all, then instead of a tool tip since the behavior would be consistent for all the paths we could put a note at the top/bottom explaining something like "you may use relative paths or absolute paths. Relative paths will be expanded with respect to the directory you start LyX from, and thus could change each LyX session". Scott
