Doesn't Kuba mean
/tmp/lyx --- owned by you
Thereafter, only you can insert stuff (other dirs, files, pipes) in
/tmp/lyx. So, safe.
Different instance of lyx would insert unique dirs (based on pid)
containing unique dirs for each buffer --- only change there is that
the ROOT is /tmp/lyx, not /tmp
Different _versions_ of lyx would have pipes
/tmp/lyx/lyx-xyz.{in,out}
Seems safe to me.
We still have the same limitation that only one lyx instance can have
pipes connected, so Kuba's suggestion is to move the pipes into
/tmp/lyx/lyx-pid/pipe.{in,out}
Still safe but some magic is needed to find them.
