I use the following for greyed-out notes (put it in your preamble):
8<----------------------------------------------------------------------->8
\usepackage{framed}
\usepackage{etoolbox}
\usepackage{marginnote}
\newbool{lyx:iffootnote}
\boolfalse{lyx:iffootnote}
\let\origfootnote=\footnote
\def\footnote#1{\origfootnote{\bgroup\booltrue{lyx:iffootnote}#1\egroup}}
\makeatletter
\...@ifundefined{lyxgreyedout}{}{%
\renewenvironment{lyxgreyedout}%
{\ifbool{lyx:iffootnote}
{\marginnote{%
\Large%
$\leftarrow$}
\bgroup\space$\rightarrow$\itshape}%
{\framed}}
{\ifbool{lyx:iffootnote}
{\egroup$\leftarrow$}%
{\endframed}}}
\makeatother
8<----------------------------------------------------------------------->8
This way, you have a box when greyed-out is used in the text, and you
have a sign in the margin as well as signs in the text if greyed-out is
used in footnotes.
Of course you can customize the font (emphasize, sans serif, whatever)
just for the notes.
