Thanks Gunnar - the answers package fixes the spacing problem, so I've
switched my document to use it.

Have had some problems with your preamble:

> \newenvironment{ug}{\begin{uppg}\normalfont}{\end{uppg}}
Which gave an "Undefined control sequence." error:
{\theorembodyfont
{\upshape} \newtheorem{uppg}{Uppgift}}
The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.
This example from the answers package documentation works:
\Newassociation{sol}{Solution}{ans}
\newtheorem{ex}{Exercise}
Also can't get the bind file to be recognized by lyx. I created a
myShortcuts.bind file in ~/.lyx/bind with the text you gave. And I put the
layouts text in ~/.lyx/layout/myLayout.layout. But LyX didn't seem to pick
them up automatically. Tried Tools -> Reconfigure and restarted LyX but that
made no difference either.
