For a breakable underline text, use the \ul command from soul.sty.

On the subject of font packages, a couple of questions:
1. Is there any documentation for the lucida packages? I've been trying
sticking things in my preamble, but the results are pretty hit or miss.
2. Does anyone know how to get shadow and outline effects? I assume these
are raw TeX commands, as I can't find any LaTeX command to do this.

There are hundreds of occurrences of these, so I don't want to use

No. This is one of the main missing features of LyX, but there are plans to
add it soon.
In the meantime, you can use the following hack:
Use colors for character styles, and put \usepackage{mystyles} in the preamble
(you can put it in the layout file), where mystyles.sty is something like
\usepackage{ifthen}
\renewcommand{\textcolor}[2]{%
\ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{red}}{\textit{#2}}{}%
\ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{green}}{\textbf{#2}}{}%

You're a genius Dekel! I used your coloration method to do EXACTLY what's
needed in my book. Each color is a character style, and it leaves its own
name in the .lyx file for future parsing and easy modification.
So red is the steps character style, and magenta is the chapters
character style, and I can change all instances with a single change to the
stuff inside the preamble/endpreamble in my .layout file. The one significant
change to your example was the inclusion of a third ifthenelse{}{} so that #2
gets printed if it's not red or magenta.
You might think it would be confusing remembering red is steps and magenta is
Chapters, but I'll put a note on my monitor to remember, and maybe a comment
in the document.
Thank you very much. This fixed a BIG problem for me.
\usepackage{ifthen}
\renewcommand{\textcolor}[2]{%
\ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{red}}{{\LARGE\textsf{#2}}}{}% Steps
\ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{magenta}}{{\LARGE\textit{\textsf{#2{}% Chapters
\ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{magenta}\or\equal{#1}{red}}{}{#2}% fallthrough
}
By the way, if \textsf is sans, and \textbf is bold, anyone know how to make
underline?
