Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: lyx

When LyX crashes, it leaves files ~/.lyx/lyxpipe.* in the user's
directory. These files break LyX's 'lyxpipe' functionality until the
user deletes the dead files manually, which means that inserting
bibliographic references (for example, using Jabref) is broken (and
silently -- LyX doesn't explain the reason for the problem).

One thing that could be done to improve this situation would be for the
.lyx/lyxpipe.* files to be removed when the user ends their GNOME
session (and when there are no running lyx processes in other sessions).

Perhaps this is something that could be easily added in the packaging of
LyX on Ubuntu?

Cheers
JP
