Another problem is that, when exiting, LyX believes the AdvSearch GuiWorkArea has been modified and needs to be saved. Also, AFAICR, in my original patch last year, I had to "invent" a file-name when instantiating the associated buffer (and currently it is smth. like /tmp/advsearch.lyx), otherwise it was seg-faulting when trying to save sometime.

I think the GuiWorkArea widget, plus buffer and whatever other classes, should be instantiable without any need to specify a filename (at least, not as mandatory). For the AdvSearch, I don't want the buffer-changed boolean to be actually tracked down and used, I don't want automatic backup on disk every minute (if LyX does it at all), and I don't want to be asked if I want to save that file when I exit the application.
What is the best way to accomplish such behavior ?

Thanks,

  T.
