I've found the LyX UI for beamer somewhat confusing. At one time, someone (I've forgotten who to credit here, sorry) contributed this beamer-flx inset (attached). I've been using it ever since. Generally I find it more to my liking. The only thing missing is it lacks a direct way to add frame options.
