Here are the step I followed:
1) create the EPS with stardraw or with gimp.
2) inserted it into my LyX file.
3) Clicked on "Full screen preview" on the context "figure" window
4) gv opens and shows the image
5) from the "File" menu of LyX I click on "View Postscript"
6) gv opens and shows all the pages, the page containing the figure too. But it
does not render the EPS complaining with a window.

 This is the reply of gv:

Thank you very much for your reply.

If someone is interested I can write a very small abstract of the pros and cons
of the graphical software I tried for the new LyX users (as I am one of them!)
