I had a look at the gory, satanic stuff ;-)

The problem with LaTeX and LyX is the positioning of images. You cannot 
position absolutely an image on a page in LaTeX. You don't have also the 
concept of layers. If you are a LaTeX expert, they are tricks, for example 
with tikz but you are going to suffer and too many LaTeX compilation errors 
will make you curse and turn you in a soulless ghoul.
