The behaviour is not changed: We exit if lyxrc.dist exists, but lyxrc.read() was not successful. We don't exit if the file does not exist. What might be misleading here is the semantics of the return value of LyX::readRcFile. We could of course use exceptions, but I did not do that because they are rarely used in LyX. Georg
