Yes, this looks likely Liviu -- cropped images are what I'm after.
However,
I'll need to wait until 2.0.3(?), not having ventured into the world of
compiling LyX myself (as yet).
You don't need to. This patch is trivial, and you can apply it to your
configure.py (do backup first) without recompiling LyX. Alternatively,
you can simply add the following to your 'preferences' file.
# FORMATS SECTION ##########################
\format "eps" "eps" "EPS" "" "evince" "" "document,vector,menu=export"
\format "pdf6" "pdf" "PDF (cropped)" "" "evince" ""
"document,menu=export"
# CONVERTERS SECTION ##########################
\converter "dvi" "eps" "dvips -E -o $$o $$i" ""
\converter "pdf2" "pdf6" "pdfcrop $$i $$o" ""
I meant to include this info on the wiki, but never got around it. I
do hope that this will be included in base LyX in the future. Also,
attached are the template files using 2.0.
Looking at what you've done did remind me
that I had used the -E option in 1.6.10 for dvips (for the DVI ->
Postscript
file converter), which I had forgotten to do in 2.0.2. Sadly, it made no
difference, not even after a reconfigure.
I guess something isn't properly setup in your conversion chains. You
need to make sure that all the conversion paths are there.

A good start would be to get myself a copy of evince.
No need. Change it for acroread, or whatever you are using on your system.

However, taking your hint that something was awry in my setup, I
restored all the Lyx20 defaults. The problem vanishes.
\usepackage{pstricks}
\usepackage{pst-eps}
in the preamble, and a document consisting only of an ERT inset containing
\begin{TeXtoEPS}
\pspicture*(5,5)
<pstricks instructions>
\endpspicture
\end{TeXtoEPS}
now gives a cropped postscript image. My apologies (especially to the
developers) for the noise.
