Georg.
Here's what I would like:

f(x)    = 1+2+3
g(x,y) = 4+5

Here's what Lyx's version of the AMS align gives me if I use *3* columns (in
the dvi previewer so i'm pretty sure its what would get printed):

   f(x) = 1+2+3
g(x,y) =     4+5

I can get it to not right justify the stuff after the = sign by using *2*
columns and perhaps that is why the default align does only bring up two
columns. However, the left hand side is still right justified.

I can get exactly what I want using eqnarray, but I read somewhere that
align is prefered to eqnarray. Unf. from what I can tell, Lyx's
implementation of AMS align is doing something odd.

cheers
