Hi,
        I'm using Lyx on debian...
        Lyx 1.4.3-2 has trouble using a local document class and layout.  Lyx 
1.3.7 
from ubuntu dapper has no problem using the same document class and layout.

to reproduce:

latex document class:
http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/sig-alternate.cls
in
~/texmf/tex/latex/base/sig-alternate.cls

lyx layout:
http://www.ece.iit.edu/~jgrad/lyx/layouts/sig-alternate.layout
in
.lyx/layouts/sig-alternate.layout

(run texhash, reconfigure and restart lyx)

In Lyx-1.4.3:
1. Create new document.
        File->New
2. Change document class.
        Document->Settings...->Document Class->Document Class: article 
(sig-alternate)
3. OK

Lyx window says:
Lyx: Could not change class
The document could not be converted into the document class sig-alternate.

Lyx console says:

No problem in Lyx 1.3.7 from ubuntu dapper:
1. Create new document.
        File->New
2. Change document class.
        Layout->Document...->Layout->Document Class: article (sig-alternate)
3. OK

        Can anybody else test this on their distribution?  I want to check 
whether 
this is a Debian problem or a Lyx problem.

Thanks!
        C.
