just try one figure to make adjustment for font-, point- and line-size in
gnuplot. The othes can follow this setting.

I don't know, I have never used pdflatex, since all my figures are in eps
(raster images).

I don't know, lyx 1.2.0 seems to be making a caption manually...$-).

for gnuplot graphics is better with pslatex terminal then use insert file
as \input{} in the lyx. Or you can also use fig terminal, which later can
be edited with xfig and exported to pstex or eepic.
Note: eepic does not support a rotating text for 90 degree (as I
remember), i.e. for y-axes label, although you can do it by hand (editing
the eepic output).
