With LyX 1.1.5fix1, I hit upon the following (reproducible) error:

- document foo.lyx resides in a folder /home/user/documents which is a symlink
to /home/user/personal/writing/documents

- an eps graphics file demo.eps resides in /home/user

- when inserting the graphics file into LyX, it references it as
"../../demo.eps". Even when I enter the absolute path instead, it always
returns to the relative path.

- the graphics preview flawlessly renders in LyX.

- but: any LaTeX run results in a double error message (that the size of the
graphics couldn't be determined and that the graphics file couldn't be
found). Apparently, LaTeX - unlike LyX - can't resolve the symlinks and
descends into the wrong directory.
