This is true for 1.3.x, but 1.4 converts included graphics files if needed,
and references the converted file in the .tex file. So the procedure
lyx --export latex mylyxfile.lyx
pdflatex mylyxfile.tex
should produce identical results to export->pdflatex from GUI, with one
exception:
lyx --export latex can not know if the produced .tex file will be run
through pdflatex or latex. It assumes latex, and this is the problem here:
The gif file is converted to eps, and the .tex file contains
'\includegraphics{foo}'. latex would find foo.eps (which was created), but
pdflatex would find foo.pdf, foo.png or foo.jpg.

This is indeed a workaround until we have a 'pdflatex' export format.
