I would call that a bug in LyX which outputs the wrong latex in this case. A
fix was committed to the 1.4.x tree this morning by Jürgen Spitzmüller.
How to change? I think that you need to do some editing of the latex file
created by LyX. Does your file contain stuff like:
...
\begin{figure}
\caption{foo bar}
\begin{center}\includegraphics{your_file}\end{center}
\end{figure}
? If so, change 'center' to 'centering' and the extra space will dissappear.
So, the question is, how do you do that 'automatically'? The answer is to
define your own wrapper script for latex, pdflatex, whatever you choose to
use. I suggest that you change your converters, adding these lines to your
personal .lyx/preferences file:
\\converter latex dvi "my_latex.sh latex $$i" "latex"
\\converter latex pdf2 "my_latex.sh pdflatex $$i" "latex"
Thereafter, you must make the script 'my_latex.sh' executable:
$ chmod u+x my_latex.sh
and place it in your PATH
$ echo $PATH
What to put in my_latex.sh? Well, the attached file works perfectly.
Hope this helps, but note that this is a work-around. You should test to see
whether it is still needed in future versions of LyX.
