The recipe is as follows:
1) put the cursor inside a labeled formula
2) choose Insert->Label
3) delete the label in the label dialog (OK is disabled)
4) press the space bar (OK gets enabled)
5) hit the enter key or press the OK button
6) the label is deleted but the formula is still numbered

As it is now, after step 5) the label gets deleted, but only
because the formula is now turned into an unnumbered one, meaning
that you have to hit again Alt-m-n to restore the numbering.

I think that the above recipe is (was) very simple and effective.
