\usepackage{algorithm} and "Export as TeX"

Hi there! I'm just trying to convert my thesis into pdf and recently had efforts using hyperref and LyX's export as TeX function (unfortunately using hyperref within the LyX's LaTeX preambel was unsuccessful). Funny, though, that all algorithm floats had its caption below the (LyX)-code and not
