 I can imagine a nice dialog with check boxes for this sort of thing.
 
 This sort of thing is going to be very class-specific.  For AMS, it's
 a check box to decide whether numbering is within sections ... and
 another for whether there's numbering at all.  For a different class
 it's going to be something else.  So I think what this would require is
 (1) syntax in the layout file to define options (how to display them in
 a dialog, what the choices are, what LaTeX to insert for each choice)
 and (2) an extra dialog in Document - Settings that self-configures
 based on that piece of the layout file.  Sounds doable (though not by me
 -- allergy to C++), but perhaps not obvious how many layouts would
 exploit it.  Perhaps it should go on the wiki wish-list and people could
 vote for it (by suggesting layouts that would benefit from it)?

I have so far not written any code for lyx.  I _did_ buy the PyQt4 book. 
How do we feel about using PyQt for something like this, or does that even
make any sense?
