| Christian> What Lars forgot to mention, is that this fresh install was
| Christian>a test I did (on another computer) after I discovered the
| Christian>file preferences.xform, preferences and lastfiles in my
| Christian>home-dir. These files suddenly appeared after a cvs update
| Christian>on my computer that has been running LyX happily (on ~/.lyx)
| Christian>for months.
| 
| So you do have a .lyx/, but LyX decides not to use it?

Correct. Tried an empty .lyx/ too, but no success.

| Christian> Further investigation shows that regardless of any ~/.lyx
| Christian>directory or not, LyX still reads from and writes to these
| Christian>files in ~/ Tried both an empty ~/.lyx and the "old" dir
| Christian>that worked before.
| 
| Christian> If still a mystery, please provide directions, and I'll try
| Christian>to help figure this out.
| 
| Do you have by chance (?) a variable LYX_USERDIR_11x set in your
| environment?

No.

| Could you run LyX with "-dbg init" command line option?

Ok, follows:
