Yes. What are the reasons for doing so? IMHO it is far more useful to
automatically re-load the file in this situation. I do from time to time
tricky search/replace with vim on the .lyx file. With the change above I
would be forced to close the file first before reopening it, currently (and
if it would be reloaded automatically) I simply can save it, change it on
disk, and open it again.
Of course this can only be done if the buffer is clean. If it is not clean
the user must decide which version he wants.
