After I remove a0poster.layout, reconfiguration stops at aastex, a
regular latex class:

+checking for document class aastex [aastex]...
OK. If I use a clean account (does not have .lyx directory created by
lyx 1.3.6), lyx 1.4.0cvs configures fine.
Another problem: instant preview figure misplaced. See attachment.

Sorry, my typo. Lyx inserts

How do you guys do this? (I mean handling of multiple patches
