Thank you for your ideas… your hint regarding the change for #9778 was useful 
too.
I’m not 100% sure how it works now. (I have problems to test all these things,
on my system are so much tools installed - it’s difficult to get a virgin 
state).

After moving all SVG2PNG conversion tools away LyX presents the svgz icons on
screen - I had expected it to fail because of the #9778 change. Is it only a
„trick“ to force external conversion if possible?

I tried to make your proposal working and it looks not bad. ATM, I see the
following open tasks:
1. It converts SVG but not SVGZ - should be possible to improve
2. It should be a console application like tex2lyx
3. If bundled with LyX it should considered as a fallback only

I can take care for 2 and 3. For 1 a hint or a solution would be fine.

Thanks,
Stephan
