-g is an alias to LFUN_GOTOFILEROW. My inverse search patch just extended
this lfun to work also with files that are in lyx_tmpdir. So, unles you
are not using a temporary directory, you should use

lyxclient -g /tmp/lyx_tmpdir..../..../newfile.tex  13

which is what xdvi would call. Why don't you let xdvi do it's job instead
of trying manually?

As you are not referencing a file in lyx_tmpdir, you are using the old
part of the lfun. I don't believe that the crash is due the lfun itself,
which is very simple, but a bug somewhere else.

I would really like to continue my work on it, but having two patches
waiting for approval is too much for me. If something is wrong with them,
I need to know before resume coding.
