Yes, maybe it's not worth the effort. I just remembered that I set all 
my LyX documents to left aligned because, at least previously, the gaps 
between words were just to wide to be nicely readable. I don't remember 
exactly anymore what was the main cause of the gaps. I might try using 
justification again to see.
