No, I think your points about afs are enough. I didn't realise that
lyxclient will search for the socket. To be robust, it would have to
ascertain that the user is using /tmp as the lyx temp directory. Ie,
it would have to parse ~/.lyx/preferences looking for
\use_tempdir false
\tempdir_path "/tmp2"
Of course, here I have my preferences in ~/.lyx-1.3.x/preferences
because I passed --with-version-suffix to configure...
If only life were simple...
