I don't understand your question. This looks like just a sectioning (or partitioning) command so why would it have paragraph indents?

It is a variation of the normal part sectioning. Normally the page following \part{...} is blank. This style allows the author to write some text on this following page. In svmono.cls there is an environment partbacktext that messes with the LaTeX-pagination in order to achieve this. The LaTeX usage would be as follows:

\begin{partbacktext}
\part{Part title}

Text which should appear on the following page. This text could span several paragraphs.
\end{partbacktext}

The layout that I copied into my original message implements this construction. However my implementation has the bug that indentation is not indicated in LyX.

    4) svmono contains an environment svgraybox that provides a gray
    background. I am aware that currently the background color cannot be
    controlled by layouts. I have therefore chosen sans font in order to
    indicate this environment, simply because this font is rarely used. Does
    anyone have a better idea?


LyX already provides coloured boxes so you could just stick to these.

I am trying to provide a LyX implementation of each environment and command that is offered in svmono.cls. A book author can then simply export to latex in order to obtain a files that are ready for submission to Springer.
