I just downloaded the package stmaryrd and have a LyX LaTeX Beamer document in which I want to insert some symbols with this package (\llbracket). Is there a way to make LyX include the package in the file, without having to edit the underlying document outside of LyX? Thanks!

I also ran into this problem and managed to fix it in the following way: The preamble:
\usepackage{pgf}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{shapes,arrows}
\usepackage{dot2texi}
Not sure if the load order matters, but you need to include both the tikz the pgf packages or specify that you explicitly want to use tikz in your graphs.
The latter is done like this:
\begin{dot2tex}[neato,tikz,options=-tmath]
I'm not sure if it possible to specify this somewhere global for your whole document.
Also don't forget to enable -shell-escape in the call to pdflatex, this can be done in Preferences > File Handlers > Converters by changing the LaTeX (pdflatex) -> PDF (pdflatex) to pdflatex -shell-escape $$i.
You did add the \write18 in an ERT, or the preamble?
I think you add the --shell-escape flag in Tools --> Preferences --> File Handling --> Converters. If you use pdfLaTeX to compile your document, find the entry in the list called LaTeX (pdfLaTeX) -> PDF (pdflatex). Add --shell-escape in the Converter field, between pdflatex and $$i:

LyX has an option to edit the LaTeX preamble (under Document > Settings > LaTeX Preamble), and in there you can insert:
\usepackage{stmaryrd}And then you can insert the symbols you need using its feature for inserting LaTeX codes directly.
Getting the symbols to appear correctly in the LyX preview screen is another matter, and probably very difficult if not impossible, however.
