Thanks for the input, guys.
Paul, if I go and try to do what you're suggesting above, I'd have to edit the
stdlists.inc file, right?
That would be the logical place to add a new itemize environment (it
would then be available to pretty much all classes), and the only place
if you were going to modify the existing itemize environment.
If I look at Style Description, I notice several options that have the same
name as the list parameters like \topsep, \labelsep, etc, though capitalized
(TopSep, LabelSep, etc). Am I wrong to think that all I have to do is to
include the line:
ListParIndent some length
Or is this just absurd?
Not absurd, but I think also not correct. I'm not sure, but I suspect
TopSep etc. tell LyX how to space things in the GUI, and do not directly
connect to what LaTeX does with the document.
In stdlists.inc, have a look at the definition of lyxlist, which is a
brand new environment. It consists of a lot of instructions to LyX
about the visual display, followed by a preamble entry defining the new
environment. You'll want to do something like that: create a new
style, including LaTeX code in the preamble that defines a new
environment as a list. In the \begin{list}{...} spacing arguments, set
a value for \listparindent.
Actually, I think the definition of the LyX-Code style (in
lyxmacros.inc) would be a better paradigm, although you'd want to put
the new code in stdlists.inc.

Indented paragraph in description list.
Returning to this thread:
http://marc.info/?l=lyx-usersm=116026623917165w=2
which concerns the creation of a multi-paragraph description list, the recipe
works, but the new paragraph is not indented inside the description.
Now, in LaTeX2e, you can set the length of \listparindent to 1\parindent, or
something else, but you have to set it inside the list_decl field of the list
environment.
Is there no way I can set a paragraph indentation inside a list in LyX? I
even tried to issue the command
\setlength{\listpartindent}{1\parindent}
or
\setlength{\listpartindent}{0.5cm}
on the preamble, but it was solemnly ignored by LyX...
Thanks.

Inelegant but seems to work:

\newlength{\lpinx}
\setlength{\lpinx}{1\parindent}
\newcommand{\lpin}{\hspace*{\lpinx}}
