The array package adds a new float position specifier, "H", which means
"*really* here". So add
\usepackage{array}
to the LyX preamble, and then use "H" position for your floats.
(I could be wrong about the required package being array, but I'm fairly
certain.)
Thank you for the hint with the [H] which !really! means HERE.
Causing unwanted page breaks it has to be combined with stuff like
\restylefloat{figure}
...
\afterpage{\clearpage \begin{figure}[H] ... \end{figure}}
though. Which means more 'fine manual' reading for me.
The name of the packege is {float} btw. :-)
Thanks.
