Right, lyx exports a centering environment instead of a center environment
as previously:

\begin{figure}
\begin{centering}
\includegraphics{/usr/local/share/lyx/clipart/platypus}
\par\end{centering}
\caption{test}
\end{figure}

However, the visual appearance of the figure in the inset does not reflect
the status of the paragraph setting:
 - flush left for Left, Right and Center
 - indented for Justified.
Should be centered when  Paragraph is Center, flushed right
when paragraph is Right, thats the only way to see how the Paragraph is set
without opening it.

So to conclude, I think it's ok to use the paragraph alignment dialog to 
make the figure centered in LyX 1.4 and later. (Hope I got this right)

He seems to be very good at this, so why did he say this?

I can't remember if I have ever had any problem with the paragraph
justification solution.


I cannot recall it with precision, but I think Herbert wrote it in
this very list.

He seems to be very good at this, so why did he say this?

I can't remember if I have ever had any problem with the paragraph 
justification solution.

I think you can also change the paragraph settings for the paragraph above
the caption with the actual image, and change that to centered.


Notwithstanding, I remember Herbert Voss electing the '\centering'
