Subject: export -> pdflatex (lyx 1.1.6pre2)

First: it's nice now to have an export/view of a pdflatex'ed file.

But there is a problem (or two) with inserted figures, if you want to use
pdflatex.

There is no option 'pdftex' in Document Layout -> Extra -> PS Driver.
It would be very easy if lyx would create automatically a preamble like this:

        \ifx\pdfoutput\undefined
          \usepackage[dvips]{graphicx} % or whatever PS Driver I want
        \else
          \usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx} % We are running pdfLaTeX
          \pdfinfo{
            /Title (Produced with LyX and pdfLaTeX)
            /Author (...)
          }
        \fi

Note: graphicX is necessary for pdftex (at least for my setup - tetex 1.0.7).

Another (more cosmetic) approvement would be if the known suffixes of the
figures are extended to *.pdf *.mps *.png ...
