I've managed to test almost all the classes that I have that LyX supports
and they all work except IEEEtran. I think I know why IEEEtran breaks.
It doesn't actually specify any page sizes since its meant for a
non-standard page used in the IEEE transactions. A user of this class
shouldn't be specifying a page size for their final run to produce a ps
file but I suppose they might be using geometry to set wider margins or
something for early drafts.
