 Using 1.6.5 on ubunto 9..10, and komascript book, I have some photographs

 centred on the page, and sometimes they are left justified- and I can see no
 difference whatsoever in the procedure I adopted (Insert float, +  insert
 graphics) or in the source code. The only difference is that some captions
 are longer than others.

This is exacly the reason: captions that fit on one line are centered by
some layout styles. The KOMA-script documentation (scrguien.pdf) will
tell you how you can configure this via document options or code in the
LaTeX preamble.

For instance, this is centred:

  % Preview source code for paragraph 43

%

\begin{figure}[H]

\includegraphics[width=3.65in]{bolzano_esterno}

\caption{La sala del commiato a Bolzano.}

  \end{figure}



And this is left justified:

  % Preview source code for paragraph 45

%

\begin{figure}[H]

\includegraphics[width=3.65in,height=2.3in]{bolzano_crocefisso}

\caption{Bolzano, il catafalco. ~Da notare i simboli religiosi non \protect
\\

sono fissi. }

  \end{figure}



Wherein lies the difference?



Can't reproduce it here.  Can you post a barebones example (minimal LyX 
file)?


I notice that you are not centering the images within the floats, so the 
images will be left-justified.  When I do it here, though, the captions 
are centered. (Also, the second caption is a single line here. Is it 
supposed to be two lines for you?)
