I take it that this means that your Qt library doesn't handle gif
images itself. That's not surprising given the LZW patent issues. Ah
well...

This means that no converter from gif to bmp etc defined. Fair enough.

LyX has found a converter from gif to png format. It writes a little
shell script to do this and gets the shell to do the work.

All looks Ok. The script will take your file
C:/lyxdokumente/.lyx/clipart/Gauss.gif
and use 'convert' to generate
C:/lyxdokumente/lyx/tmp/lyx_tmpdir1156a00900/gconvert11156a00900.png

So, for reasons yet to be understood, LyX is either not creating the
shell script or isn't putting it in the expected place.

Because LyX will use the 'convertDefault.sh' wrapper script, which it
_can_ find.
So, you have a working system, but it would be nice to understand what
is going wrong. Can you dig further?
