I do not think that even a InsetGraphics object has to be a valid file. If I have Logo_INRIA.pdf in my TeX path at work, I want to be able to use it. Currently, LyX does not find graphics through kpsewhich, but there has been a request for that (and I think we should do it). Therefore we should be wary of adding new obstacles in this direction.
