Hi folks,

I'm modifying a thesis.layout file to get it to approximate the 
dvi file a little closer. 

DVI: (<--...--> is just a placeholder for spacing)
<---------------------------------> Chapter  1
<--------------------------------> Introduction

LyX: default chapter layout using

Style Chapter
        Margin                  Static
        LatexType               Command
        LatexName               chapter
        NeedProtect             1
        NextNoIndent            1
        ParSkip                 0.4
        TopSep                  4
        BottomSep               0.8
        ParSep                  0.8
        Align                   Block
        AlignPossible           Block, Left
        LabelType               Counter_Chapter
        LabelString             "Chapter "
        LabelStringAppendix     "Appendix "
        OptionalArgs
        Font
                Series  Bold
                Size            Larger
        EndFont
End

Output is:

Chapter 1
Introduction

Now I change the layout file to get the labels centered,
with something like this:
Style Chapter
Align   Center
End

LyX: Centered labels
<-----------------------------------> Chapter  1
<-----------------------------------> Introduction

I've searched the docs. Also the mailing list for
"center Counter_Chapter" without success.

Has anybody seen or solved this? How do you get
the top label centered over the bottom label?
My guess is that I might have to add a "Center_Counter_Chapter"
labeltype for the layouts, and I will delve into the source code 
if it can't be done in the layout. (It might be done manually, 
but that defeats the purpose of the "Counter_Chapter" 
labeltype.)

Using LyX 1.3.1, QT, GNU/linux(2419), but had same behavior with
1.2.x and libforms.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions or pointers.
