With LyX 2, using XeTeX will become far more easy: 

* GUI to select output document font from the system fonts,
  (front end to the fontenc package)
* no need to manually remove babel or fontenc calls.

This line must be removed too (inside LyX, this can be achieved by setting
"TeX-encoding" to OT1).

Instead of "raw" XeTeX font commands, the fontspec package can be used
in the preamble. http://tug.ctan.org/pkg/fontspec

It also allows to use different fonts for different scripts (Unicode
ranges), see http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/fontspec/fontspec.pdf
.
