I have to admit, I'm a bit lost here. In the exported source, all the
environments are generated with:

    \begin{lyxlist}{00.00.0000}

There don't seem to be any width specifiers hard-coded into the definition
above, so there's nothing to change for the default label width. How is
that set?

There's also the item labels themselves, which are basically:

    \item [{Label goes here}]

...but I don't see what part of the lyxlist definition generates that.
Where do I look for that?

I'm not completely new to LaTeX and TeX, but it's been about 8 years since
I've had to delve into TeX internals to do this sort of stuff, so I would
appreciate some pointers on this.

Cheers,
Jason
