This is not the problem. bug 2418 is about the display of PDF graphics within LyX. In the output the PDF graphics appear as they should. As this is not the case you're using an old pdflatex version (it works here with pdflatex 1.3 and 1.2 if I remember correctly. There is also no need to define a special PDF->PNG converter because PDF-images are directly embedded to the PDF-output.
