the lyxrc file is no more used. all user-defined parameters stored in the file preferences. Maybe that you have two installion dirs. LyX1.2.0 is installed by default in /usr/local/share/lyx older versions often in /usr/share/lyx have a look at it and delete the old files. Herbert -- http://www.lyx.org/help/
