I still don't see the problem (except that a global length '\w' is a bit
non-descriptive, '\lyxboxwidth' etc might be better.
In fact I'd think something along the lines of
\usepackage{fancybox}
\usepackage{calc}
\par\fbox{\parbox{\columnwidth-2\fboxsep-2\fboxrule}{xxxx}}
\par\ovalbox{\parbox{\columnwidth-2\fboxsep-0.8pt}{xxxx}}
might be better.
