But you'd be surprised what actually works. This normally should work
if you copy from an application that treats the image as an object,
i.e not from the desktop or file manager, or an image viewer.

In simple terms, copy image from file manager or desktop, paste in a
normal word processor, copy that, paste in LyX. This, of course, if
you don't wanna have to organise anything into your LyX project dir
for use when you click the insert image button.

Today I pasted a dozen images like that with 2 windows split side by
side, and LyX even allowed me to insert a sub-float, 2 by 2 forming a
4-image figure. Just amazing, or maybe my expectations were too low :D
