Philip, you are also correct. Thank you. I went over the wiki page more
carefully and noticed the link to a file this time.
I also played with LyX a bit more because I prefer to put hacks into the
preamble instead of as ERT in the document itself. Initially, my efforts
were not successful, but after some trial and error, what I have come up
with (which works surprisingly well for my needs) is to put the following
in the preamble:
\renewcommand{\thispagestyle}[1]{}
This disables the command \thispagestyle by redefining it to null, causing
all future occurrences to do nothing. Strangely, this produces the exact
behavior I want. It causes all pages in the document to follow the setting
under Document Settings>Page Layout. I had initially expected that setting
to govern the global paper behavior anyway, and when it didn't it was a bit
frustrating. I believe this works because there are manual calls to
\thispagestyle on the first page and at the beginning of chapters in some
document classes.
I would love to see an additional LyX feature that adds a checkbox option
like "apply headings style settings globally" which could work by simply
disabling the \thispagestyle command.
