Thanks very much for your help, Stephen.
Still, it remains the case that: LyX is flipping my figures around 90
degrees clockwise.
I love LyX; it's simply fantastic. But it shouldn't flip my figures;
this is a bug that needs fixing.

Subject: orientation of .eps figures
Hi,
I have not had this problem in the past, but after some upgrading ...
My .eps figures are appearing in PDF output rotated 90 degrees
clockwise.
I use LyX-Aqua 1.3.6, Mac OS X 10.4.3
Any ideas? thanks,
p.s. exporting the LaTeX from LyX and then running pdflatex from
the terminal gives me the error "Unknown graphics extension: .eps"
epstopdf "transforms the Encapsulated PostScript file epsfile so
that it
is guaranteed to start at the 0,0 coordinate, and it sets a
page size
exactly corresponding to the BoundingBox. This means
that when Ghostscript renders it, the result needs no cropping, and
the PDF MediaBox is correct. The result is piped to Ghostscript
and a PDF version written.
If the bounding box is not right, of course, you have problems..."
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
SH: MikTeX (for Windows) uses epstopdf.exe
Linux might use the Perl epstopdf.pl
{perl} epstopdf.pl myfile.eps. [epstopdf.exe myfile.eps]
converts your eps-graphic file myfile.eps to the file myfile.pdf
Rotated regards,
Stephen
