Yes, the error is displayed by LyX because it cannot remove the temporary directory while it is shown in the Finder (the Nautilus of OSX). I'd guess this is the common scenario for the average user: check the LaTeX log, use the button, switch back to LyX and finally exit LyX - which raises the mentioned error message and leaves the empty temporary directory in file system. It's not the patch causing the error message - it's easier to get it with the patch. Stephan
