I don't know if there's a bug in Powerdot. I've not used Powerdot in
quite some time, and I recently found out that older presentations did
not compile as expected. I've always followed the manual which said:
10.3 Compiling with LYX
First of all, make sure that you have also read section 8. Then, in
order to get a proper PostScript or PDF file, you have to set your LYX
document properties depending on which paper and orientation you want.
When your LYX document is open, go to the Layout - Document dialog. In
the Layout pane, put the nopsheader, orient and paper keys as class
options (see section 2.1 for a description). Then, go to the Paper
pane and select corresponding paper size and orientation (you may
choose letter paper in the case you set paper=screen in the class
options). Finally, go to the View (or File = Export)menu and select
your output (PostScript or PDF).
However, I recently found out that the nopsheader option must now be
omitted for the document to compile properly. (See also:
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg71492.html).
Also note that contrary to the manual, once the powerdot class is
selected in LyX, the option to select paper size and orientation is no
longer available.
If I am correct then the manual must be corrected, but perhaps a wiki
entry is also appropriate.

What do you mean? Is there a bug in powerdot? If so please report it
to the developer of powerdot.
