Problem found: LyX does not read the newly generated lyxrc.defaults. If you start it again, it works. I guess that adding the line lyxrc.read(LibFileSearch(string(), "lyxrc.defaults")); to reconfigureUserLyXDir() in lyx_main.C would fix this. BTW, why are there wto functions for reconfiguring (the other one in lyx_cb.C)? Maybe this does also explain the spurious configure problems on windows? Georg
