Steve-- I TOTALLY agree with you about the Lyx/Beamer combo being a 
killjoy experience.  To make matters worse, I use this combination only 
rarely, and in between, pandemics, Former-Presidents and other plagues 
brush away what I knew about using it, so the experience is usually like 
a root-canal: painful, frustrating and disappointing. It is harder to 
use than the much maligned Impress of the even-more-maligned 
LibreOffice, but of course the output, if I ever get to that stage, is 
MUCH better looking.  Whether that improved look is worth the pain 
depends on your pain threshold ;-)
