the ~/.lyx/lyxrc is deprecated and has been replaced by a ~/.lyx/preferences 
file that contains ONLY user-preferences different from the global lyxrc 
file. If you EVER use the Preferences dialog to make some change, this is 
saved to a ~/.lyx/preferences file. Thereafter ~/.lyx/lyxrc is NEVER read.

When you upgrade lyx, the global lyxrc file is overwritten leaving only those 
few settings in ~/.lyx/preferences that may now have an invalid syntax.

Capisco?
