it is time for me to type up my phd thesis. lyx is the choice, and now i am spending a couple of days to figure out how to make the layout. 1) i have been looking around for examples of other phd thesis with very little success. any pointers would be most welcome!
I can recommend to use a koma-script class. You find its description here: ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/koma-script/scrguien.pdf Some of my colegues have writte their PHD-thesises using koma-script. For an example you can have a look at my diploma thesis: http://fkurth.de/uwest/usti/Diplom/
the general style of phd thesis from my instutution is composed of a title-page, summary, introduction, work1, work2, work3... references, appendices. now, work1--3 ... are published papers where i somehow need to embed these pdf files in the thesis. how can this be done?
If the papers are in lyx or tex-format you can simply include them to your LyX-file. PDF files can also be included to the pdf-output of your lyx-file. I don't remember how this is done; you might find a solution in the TeX-FAQ:

4) i would like the department logo in the fancy header. how?
This is also explained in the TeX-FAQ. regards Uwe
