Ok, I think I got it (after a while .... *gg*)
I could also figure out why the images seemed to be cropped properly an
newer images were not: The first images were created with gnumeric which
adopts the canvas size -- and the newer images have a canvas of A4,
therefore the large area to display in lyx... DVI output was always fine
because EPS does not know a thing like the canvas.
So would like to thank the list members for their help and explanations
... and for their patience!

Yes.
When I use SVG as source format, which conversions take place for which
situation?
You can see that in the terminal window if you start LyX with -dbg
graphics.
What is the preferred format for LyX and for DVI output?
There is no choice. latex needs eps for DVI output.
I thought (might be somehow wrong):
For DVI output, an EPS is required, therefore the SVG->EPS converter.
Right.
For LyX display, PNG is required, therefore SVG->PNG converter.
Almost right. ppm, xpm and a few other formats would also work.
Nevertheless, Lyx also displays the image without the PNG conversion
listet, but there is a difference. With the PNG conversion, the
background
is the same as the window background, without it is white.
Can anybody explain, which conversion applies in which situation?
I explained it already: If you don't specify a svg->png converter then
LyX
will use the default converter.
