I just can't understand your hate for lowercase chapter names --
even if chapters are very long :). Anyway, the best I can do is the
following:
replace:
\renewcommand{\chaptermark}[1]{\markboth{#1}{}}
with:
\renewcommand{\chaptermark}[1]{\markboth{\lowercase{#1}}{}}
But this makes *all* characters in lower case, even the first one --
which probably makes this solution not suitable to your needs.
If someone knew how to handle strings (in particular, characters
arrays) in LaTeX, it would be easy to get a *definitive* solution
for your problem. I never heard about this possibility, but I'm sure
something must exist.

Yes. I meant, in the first line of the child document, all alone.

No problem Miguel, I'm pleased to be of help for someone. Though I'm
not a LyX, nor a LaTeX guru. :)

I hope one day you'll be able to answer other people's questions, in
order to share your (yet little, like mine) amount of knowledge and
make the Internet a better place. :)

Actually, the working sequence is the one that seems most natural to
me. :)
