still more elegant: create a new LyX *.layout in your
~/.lyx/layouts directory.
Example for article:
#% Do not delete the line below; configure depends on this
# \DeclareLaTeXClass{article (with empty centered headings)}
Input article.layout
Style Section
KeepEmpty 1
Align Center
AlignPossible Left, Center, Right
End
# The same for Subsection ans Subsubsection if desired.

I normally write the following paragraph first, then move up and insert the
empty paragraph (e.g. the section) and finally move down again (as the
cursor keys work) to continue writing. Still, a fix to this unwanted
behaviour is on top of my personal lyx wishlist.
