There is a bug in the automatic reconfiguration code:
If the user don't have ~/.lyx/lyxrc.default file, then the configure
script is invoked.
This is wrong: if the user environment is equal to the system environment,
then running the configure script does not create a ~/.lyx/lyxrc.default file.
In that case, lyx will run the configure script on each startup.
The attached patch fixes this.
Note that it assumes that the LYXLIBDIR/lyxrc.defaults file is updated
whenever a new version of LyX is installed (is this true ?).
