Otfried,

   That's good to know. According to the Ipe doc, cropbox is needed only with
early versions of pdflatex. I've turned it off because I have a newish
version of pdflatex installed.

   I've drawn all the figures I need for next week's presentation, but I'll
give this a try on the next one. The extra space is not passed from LyX to
the resultant .pdf file. That was my concern, and it turns out to be
unfounded.

Many thanks,

Rich
