Wasn't it one intention of the new Graphics Inset that eps-figures will be converted to a supported format when calling pdftex?
However, if you need to convert your PhD to PDF and want to use pdftex and eps-images, you can use the excellent script tex2pdf, which converts eps figures to pdf figures and even creates bookmarks and thumbnails. Works like a charme here. You can convert LyX files directly from the command line or from within LyX (define a new converter). Get it here: http://tex2pdf.berlios.de/ Good luck, Juergen.
