Hi,
this appears to be related to one of the many bugs in LyX 1.4.x. In
LyX 1.3.x, it used to work fine with the xforms and Qt frontends. I
found the following bug report:
http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=845
and the following related thread on this list:

Thank you, Jens.
Do you find that you can enter your accents normally in a GUI
dialog in LyX (e.g., open Document>Settings>Preamble and type
something with accents there)?
Yes, I do ...
In my case, that works as it should, whereas it doesn't always work
in the main LyX window.
My keyboard problems only concern some accents and umlauts, and I
don't see exactly what you're describing: e.g., when I press
<option>-c I get the ç.
I didn't. By deselecting "use keyboard map" in Preferences (see
below), I do ...
Depending on the way your QT is compiled, you may have to press
<apple>-c instead of <option>-c to get this to work. Maybe you have
a keymap file in ~/Library/Application Support/LyX-1.4/kbd/ that is
causing your particular problem. Then you could try to remove or re-
write that .kmap file. In LyX Preferences, under Keyboard, you can
choose alternative keymap files, e.g. by copying from the
collection in
/Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/kbd/
the behavior that I described in my previous posting applies to the
"american" keyboard in Lyx prefernces. If I deselct "use keyboard
map" therein, punctuation symbols are correctly written upon single
key-stroke, but still I cannot obtain accented character by typing
the standard mac <option>+char sequence. (with a few exceptions:
"<opt>+c" does give ç, for instance, "<opt>+`+a" does not give "à",
though).
