Point is that it doesn't NEED cropping. If I open the file in Evince, it
correctly shows the image not needing cropping. I have got to pains to
change the page size in OpenOffice to just that which is requred. The
point is that LyX is not detecting the BoundingBox correctly from the
file, AFAICT.
It is good to hear from Uwe, that his problem is going to be fixed in 1.5.
However, in the meantime (or as alternative) I can really recommend to
export to EPS from OpenOffice. If you check the "Selected Objects" option
in the export dialog, OO saves the EPS with bounding box. LyX transparently
converts the EPS files to PDF if using pdflatex. The quality by no means
worse than with embedding native PDF.
(There is one exception, though: Transparencies are not well supported by
EPS. If using pdflatex as back-end, images with transparencies should be
directly exported to PDF.)
