Use a figure float, insert two images into it (the images can be 
separated by some HFill), and activate the option 'Subfigure' in the tab 
'Extra options' of the image dialog.

For better understanding, I attached a small example LyX-file. As you 
can see under the second image (in pdf), the caption is automatically 
constrained to the image width.

Simply insert a table float and put one picture into each table - cell.

Probably the other way round:
Create a figure float and insert (instead of a EPS-Figure) a 2x2 table,
then insert inlined-eps figures in the table cells.

That way the figure is still a figure (e.g. for List-of-Figures, in the
caption etc.).

Yes, I solved my problem by creating a FIGURE float and inserting a 2x2 table.
In each cell of the table I inserted an EPS-figure (but not INLINED) and
finally I removed the lines from the table. Thank you for the help! Goodbye
