it's the same situation like two figures or two tables or the
combination of them:
1. open wide float
2. insert caption and float as usual
3. put cursor left or right from image
4. layout->paragraph->extra->Minipage
and Begin new Minipage (only needed,
when caption under image, but it's
a good thing to do it anyway)
5. put cursor inside caption line
4. layout->paragraph->extra->Minipage
and Begin new Minipage
and hfill between minipage paragraphs
thats all
have a look at the attached ps-file.
