In the early versions of SW, there was a tcilatex package to make available
the styles, that you had just to copy iin your local  TeX installation.
AFAIR, only the graphic inset needed filtering to make it work
with the examples I had to cope with at the time.

There is also a 'clean LaTeX' export option in SW which produces .tex
without using these extensions. However, a full round trip LyX - LaTeX

True, quite uneasy to use on the SW side, but quite efficient to export a 
particular chapter towards a technical report witten in a different class
(i.e. SW - LaTeX part of the path).

Two answers: one is good and other bad. Which one you want first? :-)

OK, in order to speed things up, I'll say the bad one first: it is coming in
1.4.*, which is not close to being available yet. The good thing is that
there are workarounds. Export both LyX documents to LaTeX and then you can
try either output of 'diff -buB' or you may try wdiff. It may be helpful to
indent the LaTeX (AucTeX mode in Emacs can do it, I am not sure about
standalone utility).

What about using directly version control (possibly in connexion with a cvs) ?
Did anyone try to compare latex/lyx files this way ?

Yes, it is a limitation of LyX. Put your letterhead between two LateX (ERT)
boxes like that : 

Top ERT : \titlehead{\begin{center}

Cannot Get Headings Correct

[Rich Shepard]

   I'm using the Koma-script report class and addchap/addsect for divisions.
The headings do not have the Chapter/Section titles on them and I cannot
figure out why.

   Here's the beginning of the file:

#LyX 1.3 created this file. For more info see http://www.lyx.org/
\lyxformat 221
\textclass scrreprt

\cfoot{\pagemark}% page in center foot
\setheadsepline{0.4pt}

\end_preamble

   The only quibble I see is that \papersize is letterpaper while
\paperpackage is a4; I want the former (US letter).

   Does anyone see what I have mis-configured so that the headings are empty
except for the separation line?

TIA,

Rich

Buy a copy of ITC Garamond and use that instead.

hash in URL

[Ben Hourigan]

I have a url containing a hash in a LyX document. I inserted it using 
the Insert  URL menu item. In exported tex, it is as follows:

\url{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD#Region_codes}
When LyX (or TeXshop) typesets the file using pdflatex, I get the 
following error.

Illegal parameter number in definition of [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 }
  In an article investigating Australian consumer 
dissatisfaction with
You meant to type ## instead of #, right?
Or maybe a } was forgotten somewhere earlier, and things
are all screwed up? I'm going to assume that you meant ##.
I can get around this by deleting the hash (in which case it doesn't 
appear in the PDF output). I also tried using the escape sequence for 
the character as recorded in the LaTeX symbol list (\#), which avoids 
the error, but appears as \# in the output. Two hashes in a row also 
avoids the error, but in the PDF I get two hashes, which I don't want 
either.

Is there any way to put a single hash in a properly typeset URL, using 
LyX?

Look at the license this font was distributed under.
It's only for use by Apple, and to support Apple marketing purposes.
Buy a copy of ITC Garamond and use that instead.

There I was, suffering from Cold, Wet, Winter Monday Afternoon Blues, and 
you just brought a huge grin to my face. Thank you!

Drop Lars  an email. He's the man in charge of the 
purse strings. In fact, he's the man in charge, period ;-)

hash in URL

[Ben Hourigan]

I have a url containing a hash in a LyX document. I inserted it using 
the Insert > URL menu item. In exported tex, it is as follows:

\url{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD#Region_codes}
When LyX (or TeXshop) typesets the file using pdflatex, I get the 
following error.

Illegal parameter number in definition of [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 }
  In an article investigating Australian consumer 
dissatisfaction with
You meant to type ## instead of #, right?
Or maybe a } was forgotten somewhere earlier, and things
are all screwed up? I'm going to assume that you meant ##.
I can get around this by deleting the hash (in which case it doesn't 
appear in the PDF output). I also tried using the escape sequence for 
the character as recorded in the LaTeX symbol list (\#), which avoids 
the error, but appears as "\#" in the output. Two hashes in a row also 
avoids the error, but in the PDF I get two hashes, which I don't want 
either.

Is there any way to put a single hash in a properly typeset URL, using 
LyX?
