I've got this in my .emacs on the Ubuntu box:

(set-language-environment "UTF-8")

and have no problems with funny characters.  I got some problems with
BBDb not recognising some names with Norwegian letters so I switched
from "Latin-9" and the problems disappeared.

(I haven't used LyX, so I don't know about that, at the time I was
LaTeXing, I used Emacs with AucTeX.)
