This is correct.
Are you sure that you have all the fancyhdr commands in the preamble?
Here I collect:
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancyplain}
If you don't need the fancyplain stuff (plain meansonly page numbers
on title pages, which is better IMHO for a book or
a report because you don't need to write twice
the same title on the same page),
you need to (AFAIR)
- \pagestyle{fancy}
- remove the \fancyplain commands of the \rhead and \lhead commands, e.g
\lhead[\rm\thepage]{\it\rightmark}

It seems quite a lot of work to implement fancyhdr.sty in the LyX interface,
but I agree with you that is would be very useful. In the meantime, you need
to have a look at the fancyhdr doc ...
Keep me posted directly if you still don't get what you want with the
fancyhdr package.
