Not all formats are converted to .eps. If you insert a .png it will
not be converted to a .eps. I agree that in the end to display on a
screen a bitmap is more useful but I think that Qt takes care of that.
If you go to Insert > Graphics and choose a .pdf, at least on Ubuntu,
it is converted to a .eps. You can see this by starting LyX with lyx
-dbg graphics and looking at the output.
Below is some useful information from the output. Note all the way at
the bottom "from_format: pdf6
to_format: eps"
