It took me a while to try this out, because I updated to LyX 1.5.1 in the 
meantime and had fatal problems (pdflatex not working, unfixable charset 
errors, and wrong PDF previews), then I tried 1.5.0 and now I am back at 
1.4.4.

At least your pointer brings me forward a good step.  I was not aware of 
the "external material" option so far.  The preview does not work; the 
included background image is not found ("No such picture 
file: /tmp/lyx_tmpdir26233cNPzSl/gx.png") and the special text appears 
verbatim.  However, the final PDF looks fine.

I should stay with 1.4.4 for my thesis (which I have to finish soon) and try 
the then-current LyX version later and report any remaining problems.  (Or 
even work on them.)

Thanks a lot again!
  Greetings, Hans
