Thanks Herbert... I think the one I was looking for was named FigSideBySide.lyx but assuming that it uses the same minipages-based solution as MultiImages.lyx, I am unable to vertically align the captions of the two figures that are side-by-side... I have two figures that do not have the same height/width but I'd like to have the captions on the same line, i.e. the figures will have a constant base... any way to do this? (I also have labels for the figures within a figure float)
Nirmal,
It is attached the file that Herbert sent me and that you are looking for.

\layout Standard
Two figures side by side in a float environment.
Have a look at the
\begin_inset ERT
status Collapsed
\layout Standard
\backslash
verb/ layout->paragraph->more/
\end_inset
For the the captions in the float (red line on the left side marks a minipage!).
Between the two figures are three
\begin_inset ERT
status Collapsed
\layout Standard
\backslash
verb/
\backslash
hfill/
\end_inset
-commands (
\begin_inset ERT
status Collapsed
\layout Standard
\backslash
verb/insert->special character->hfill/
\end_inset
).
Otherwise the images are not centered.

The same figures side by side by both aligned to their top.
The solution with
\begin_inset ERT
status Collapsed
\layout Standard
\backslash
verb/
\backslash
raisbox{-
\backslash
height}{<image>}/
\end_inset
is the easiest, but there maybe a problem when you have the captions above,
then one images is one line too high.

With a parbox which is aligned to the top and an additional line with a
zero height it's possible to get top aligned images
