Hello,
Unfortunately, the slides layout file is certainly the worst in the
distribution, not because it is badly done, but because the syntax of
the class is not adapted to LyX. Thus the horrible latex code you
see...

The problem is that LyX does not (yet) support empty environments.

Did you set document encoding to latin1? It is strange that it does
not work.

This creates a way of specifying whether slides should be centered
(vertically, I assume). Imagine that the is a variable \LyXsNoCenter
which is set to true with \LyXsNoCentertrue and to false with
\LyXsNoCenterfalse. Then, if you enter an empty paragraph with
LatexCommand \slidecentering, this will set \LyXsNoCenter to false,
since the code generated is
\sildecentering{}
Then some other ugly code will actually use the variable.

Good luck...
