To avoid it, I can add in the graphic menue, second tab, the values of the left bottom and right top coordinates of the figure. Can this be done somehow more quickly? Note that the values differ depending on the width of the labels and numbers for the tics.
At least in LyX 1.5.0rc1, in the second tab of the "Graphics" menu there is a button "Get from file" that reads the boundingbox automatically from the eps file. In addition you can check the "Clip to bounding box" option in the same tab.
