LyX could ask whether one wants to store a copy of the image besides

That would be sensible IMHO, but still not the standard behaviour one is
used from word processors that Enrico demands above.
So Enrico probably wants to be able to store images inside the .lyx-file?
I think it should wait until an XML file format has been introduced. From
a discussion on the Dia list, they seemed to think that embedding an image
within the XML-file was relatively easy, so it ought to be easy for LyX as
well. If it was done before XML is introduced, it would have to be done
again.
Alternatively, support could be added for dealing with archives, where the
archive is comprised of the .lyx-file(s) in addition to image files and
other files needed to compile the document. It's probably a bit tricky to
get it fully automatic as some of the external files may include more
external files. The user might just be better of by placing all the
relevant files in a subdirectory and make an archive out of that manually.
