After tweaking the reLyXed file somewhat, it seems LyX generates the

The style file contains the line \def\figurename{Fig.}.
The layout file:
#% Do not delete the line below; configure depends on this
# \DeclareLaTeXClass[ifacmtg]{IFAC Meeting}
# Read the definitions from article.layout
Input article.layout
Also tried "Input stdclass.inc" instead and also. What really
happens? Any suggested remedies to change the figure names?
Are you saying that you see the full word ("Figure") in output
produced by LyX, or just in the LyX window itself (meaning LyX says
"Figure" but the DVI/PDF output file says "Fig.")?
As far as I know, neither article.layout nor stdclass.inc (which I
believe article.layout automatically loads) does anything in this
regard that would affect the output generated by LaTeX. If you want
the LyX window to show "Fig.", perhaps the aastex.layout file (which
has a FigCaption style) might give you some clues.

Yes, the figure captions in the DVI output are preceeded by e.g. "Figure
1." instead of "Fig. 1." Everything else, all spacing, every single
letter position, seem to be in the very same place as in the
latex-generated dvi file. (The LyX window displays Figure, but that
doesn't really matter.)

I did a little experimenting. It turns out that LyX inserts the option
'english' in the document class line. For instance, in the sample
document, LyX writes \documentclass[onesided,english]{ifacmtg} where the
original sample contains just \documentclass{ifacmtg}. The
specification of a language option is what triggers the use of a full
word rather than an abbreviation (though I don't know enough about LaTeX
classes to know why). The same thing happened when I specified German
as the language (other than 'Figure' becoming 'Abbildung', of course).
As a work-around, you can have LyX export to LaTeX, manually edit out
the language option from the \documentclass line, and then run LaTeX
manually, which should work (did for me). For a more satisfying answer,
you might want to repost to the list with a new subject line (how to
suppress the language specification, why the language specification
forces full-word captions, ...).
Hope this helps,
Paul
