I do not see why this makes sense, since the setting of these different comboxes will be incompatible. If we have categories, and maybe a hierarchical menu instead of a combox, the same problem is solved. > And I can remember thinking, or talking, about other bugs and saying > something like, "We can't do this because LyX doesn't always know > whether something is a sectioning command." We actually need to collapse things like Section and Section* in a generic way. > So there seems to me some argument for having some pre-defined > categories with special meaning to LyX.

For example, sections can be recognized because they have a non-default TocLevel. JMarc
