Why not already use the dot->pdf converter that comes with graphviz?

Because I wanna use dot2tex on the dot file beforehand. Importing pure

Then define your own "dot2tex" file format, have a dot->dot2tex
converter and a dot2tex->pdf converter. Remove the usual dot->pdf
converter because LyX would use that if present (assuming LyX uses the
shortest conversion pathway). Remove any other dot->something converters
for that matter.
I tested this with one of my dot file and it works ok. The only problem
is in the generated tex file: the graph is too large to fit on an
article page. But I didn't play with the dot2tex options, and at this
point I would say that the integration with LyX works.
Here is what I have in my LyX Preferences panel.
File Formats:
Format: LaTeX (dot2tex)
Short Name: dot2tex
Extension: tex
Converters:
Graphviz Dot -> LaTeX (dot2tex)
Converter: dot2tex $$i > $$o
LaTeX (dot2tex) -> PDF (ps2pdf)
Converter: pdflatex $$i
