I don't think that this is possible in LyX 1.3.x, although you can 
change the contents of the Menubar and the Toolbar by copying 
${PREFIX}/share/lyx/ui/default.ui to ${HOME}/.lyx/ui/my_interface.ui 
and editing it as you see fit. You'll also need to tell LyX where to 
find this new .ui file. You can do this from the Preferences dialog.

In LyX 1.4.x, the default.ui file will enable you to customise the 
LyX Look & Feel in the way you desire:

# default.ui for LyX 1.4.x

Include "stdmenus.ui"
Include "stdtoolbars.ui"

# Which toolbars to use.
#
# The second parameter are the flags :
#
# on: the toolbar is visible
# off: the toolbar is not visible
# math: the toolbar is visible only when in math
# table: the toolbar is visible only when in a table
# top: the toolbar should be at the top of the window
# bottom: the toolbar should be at the bottom of the window
# left: the toolbar should be at the left of the window
# right: the toolbar should be at the right of the window
#
Toolbars
        "standard" "on,top"
        "extra" "on,top"
        "table" "off,bottom"
        "math" "off,bottom"
        "minibuffer" "off,bottom"
End
