This would not help, as long as you insert it with the Graphics dialogue, as SVG is displayed as-is without conversion. > > It seems like you really have to save your svg clipped to the right size. > Is it the method indicated in the LyX Wiki (see my first post)?

I don't think so. I'd rather * ask the inkscape people for a document option to always save with the current drawing size (maybe it already exists), or * search for (or write) a script that converts my svg files into correctly clipped ones, or * use the external inset to define a SVG->EPS or SVG->PDF conversion (with --export-area-drawing) as pre-processing step and set Display=Graphic.
