Additional Info:
All described below applies for the PDF file being located in /tmp.
If I let everything happen in ~/tmp (by changing LyX's temporary
directory) all just works (even though the file gets reloaded twice
using Skim's file monitoring).
See also my mail "Problem with file changes in /tmp (?)".
Regards,
Konrad
