Here is a trick I use to position a figure.
Put the following in the preamble:
\newcommand{\putat}[3]{\begin{picture}(0,0)(0,0)\put(#1,#2){#3}\end{picture}}
and then in the text:
\putat{130}{-100}{\includegraphics{...}}
In LyX it would be:
\putat{130}{-100}{ <- in ERT
<graphics inset>
} <- in ERT
The horizontal (first parameter) and vertical (second parameter)
displacements are in terms of \unitlength (default is 1pt) and are
relative to the position where the \putat command appears.
Note that when \putat is defined as done above, the figure
(or whatever) does not take space in LaTeX.
Hope this helps.
