Log:
add '-' between LyX and version.

I'd rather use the following patch instead. The version number will be
added only when the user used --with-version-suffix. On unix, the
directory used will be .config/lyx-1.6.0svn (or .config/lyx), which is
exactly the directory where we want to put user_dir to respect
freedesktop.org standards.

Does the standard says that we must not gather different version of an app in a same directory? i.e.:

.config/LyX/lyx-1.5.0
.config/LyX/lyx-1.6.0svn

I believe the organization name is set by Qt for this gathering.


I would like to know what happens on the mac os and windows. Ideally,
we want this session file to go in the user directory and not i na new
ad-hoc directory).

Qt will use the native method if not specified otherwise. On Windows, Qt will use the registery:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\LyX\lyx-1.5.2
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\LyX\lyx-1.6.0svn

All entries in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ follows this convention. You have only one node for Microsoft and for Mozilla for example.

FYI, the Windows package needs to be change with that respect too because right now they put a different node for each version.

On Mac, the native method is also used.
