I know this solution. 
But I think it should be the default way to protect tempfiles against
other users in the system and not a nice option for paranoid people. Or
do you think the ordinary lyx user want to be observable ?
Therefore I thought of a solution which was included into the sources of
lyx. A special startup script is ok (and the simplest way), but I think
it should be included into the default package...

Bye, Stefan
