And security/privacy means always security/privacy to be enforced by
default, unless somebody who knows what he is doing decides against
them. (Most commercial Linux distributions entirely would disagree; but
they are biased, because they must survive in M$ biotopes! ;-< And this
is not at all meant pejoratively!)
So the default as well as the fallback should be some ~/.lyx/tmp/
directory. This would leave behind tmp files in case of a LyX crash,
which is only a good thing, isn't it?
