LyX fails to create .lyx

[Lars Gullik Bjønnes]

I got this from a co-worker:

"Innstallerte LyX fra CVS på ny maskin nå uten ~/.lyx katalog. Det ble ikke opprettet 
noen slik katalog, og preferences ble lagret på ~/ akkurat som på laptopen her."

translated:

"Installed LyX from CVS on a new computer just now without a ~/.lyx
directory. This dir was not created, and preferences was saved in ~/
just as on my laptop."

This is directly from 1.1.6 cvs. Jean-Marc, has any changes gone in
that could result in something like this?
