Just a comment on this.
Using a socket is a very elegant solution, but you have to
create a robust and reliable security scheme too. LyX tends
to modify files :) and there is a real security hole if the
running LyX-Server is open to the whole world to assist in
modifying the users files.
So I think its a real problem to switch to sockets because
of the security aspects.
