Yes. The automatic layout feature is probably your best option with new 
graphs in client/server mode.

Install the most recent version of Protege 3.4 beta. I never used 
Protege in client/server mode until this past week because of problems 
with form customizations and graph widget, but Protege developers have 
fixed some of these bugs recently. You should get the standalone layout 
with the current beta at least.

There is hope that the issue may get resolved early next year.
