Sorry for being dumb (I'm risking another brick here), but I don't
understand how this can work. If the name is unique globally, how can the
client guess it? 

If the name is unique user-wise, won't another user be able to break your
lyx by creating a file in tmp with the name of your pipe before you? And
how will this work with multiple lyx at the same time?

Thanks,
