A side remark before: I don't know \leftheader and \rightheader,
but your commands seem to reinsert eps code at each slide.
If you think of publishing the layout, a better code would be
(e.g for leftheader):
\newsavebox{\logoleftheader}
\savebox{\logoleftheader}{\resizebox{!}{\headheight}{\includegraphics{CodeI}}}
\leftheader{\usebox{\logoleftheader}}
Thus the eps file is loaded only once, and the suffix is removed in case of
use of pdftex option of graphics package (which implies that you
create a ppg, png or pdf version of the logo besides the original eps,
unless one of these bitmaps is the real original image).
As for the path definition, you can clearly
not use an absolute name in the layout definition, so the best seems
to leave the logo file name as a parameter defined by a \providecommand
in the preamble of the document instance of the layout.
So you may change the above command like this:
\savebox{\logoleftheader}{\resizebox{!}{\headheight}{\includegraphics{\leftheade
rlogofilename}}}
Then in the preamble of template of the document:
\providecommand{\leftheaderlogofilename}{CodeI}
To avoid errors when the \providecommand is missing, you may add in the
layout a default \leftheaderlogofilename pointing to an empty image.
As for finding a figure/graphics file, have a look at pages 26-27 of the
"Using EPS graphics in LaTeX2e" document which comes with teTeX: the best
way is to use:
setenv TEXINPUTS /home/.lyx/clipart:
(for a single user implementation), don't miss the :
or to add the path in the TEXINPUT variable of texmf.cnf if you
run the install for a set of users (you should run texhash in that case,
if not run by crontab already).
Didn't check these commands which may require some tuning,
hope that helps.
