Cheers! Herbert got the solution! For all Lyx users who want their footnote indentation to look like this:
 
text
----------
1 bla bla bla bla bla bla
   bla bla bla.
2 bla.
 
 
 
For Lyx 1.1.5 (I tested) write in latex preamble: 
 
\newlength{\myFootnoteWidth}
\setlength{\myFootnoteWidth}{\columnwidth}
\newlength{\myFootnoteLabel}
\setlength{\myFootnoteLabel}{1.2em} % you can change the number if you like
\addtolength{\myFootnoteWidth}{-\myFootnoteLabel}
\renewcommand{\@makefntext}[1]{%
  \noindent\makebox[\myFootnoteLabel][r]{\@makefnmark\ }%
  \parbox[t]{\myFootnoteWidth}{#1}%
}
 
 
For Lyx 1.1.6 (AFAIK Herbert tested) it should be enough to write in latex preamble:
 
\newlength{\myFootnoteLabel}
\setlength{\myFootnoteLabel}{1.2em} % you can change the number if you like
\renewcommand{\@makefntext}[1]{ %
  \noindent\makebox[\myFootnoteLabel][r]{\@makefnmark\ }%
  \parbox{\columnwidth -\myFootnoteLabel}{#1}%
}
 
And the former problem that a footnote appeared on the next page is solved, too.
Additionally, AFAIK, footnotes aren't split anymore.
Maybe Herbert takes this solution on his website?! :-)
Thanks again!
