Marwan, You might want to read this: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#courtesy Calling an aspect of the software "pathetic" isn't a good way to endear yourself to a list you've inhabited for a month, and therefore not a way to get a maximal response. That's not to say I've never expressed frustration (see http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg61985.html), but I'd been on the list 7 years when I wrote that. As far as your question, the bigger your graphics, the less likely you'll like where LaTeX puts them. Personally, I use "here definitely" quite a bit, especially for large graphics, or graphics which really should come immediately after the text that calls them. I'm pretty sure this is a LaTeX thing, not a LyX thing, so anything you use that employs LaTeX will have this problem, which is why the "here definitely" option is available.
