Therefore, the graphics inset (of > LyX) seems to be useless here. Just try it to see exactly what I mean.Sorry, I remembered you had \includegraphics in your ERT. Then indeed you need an external inset for gnuplot. Unfortunately such an inset cannot be part of the official LyX sources, since gnuplot has a shell command that lets you enter arbitrary commands in a gnuplot script. If LyX had an official gnuplot template then somebody could send you a file with a malicious gnuplot script that would delete all your files - welcome to the world of LyX macro viruses.
If I am correct, there is a way to escape to that security threat: do not call Gnuplot inside LyX, and allow LyX to insert the two files (eps+tex) without ERT (and with previewing the picture in LyX). It is not a solution as great as the one implemented for Xfig pictures, but, even so, it is much better than ERT. Paul
