Hi Juergen,
I now understand better what you meant. If we get accepted for this
year's GSoC, I hope you have time to make a screenshot (or at least we
can mark up the ASCII art with the right tags so the browser will not
screw it up. My e-mail reader did.)
I personally think that LyX handles ERT (TeX) insets and footnotes
pretty well. Short ERT is just like a long word in text, and I
personally don't mind long insets starting on a new line as I would
write corresponding LaTeX code in the same style.
But there are probably cases where the user experience can be improved.
Also, I hope that this year some good students will come up with their
own (feasible) project ideas!

What is a "UX flaw"?
User Experience flaw.
How is it possible to break up an inset into three
parts (this does not make sense for figures and tables, and only limited
sense for things such as minipages... which cases did you have in mind)?
As written: Character styles, footnotes, TeX Code and such things. Content
that is embedded in the line but longer than one line.
In the end, we could easily add a flag to insets which do not want 3-box-
drawing (such as boxes and floats).
It also said that the three boxes have to be provided "manually", which
is again a hassle for the user if that's the case. Or was the idea to
manually implement a set of use cases for different insets?
I don't understand where you refer to.
Maybe an actual screenshot of Fig. 1 there would help (and, time
permitting, a mock-up of Figure 2).
I don't have time for this.
Regards,
Jürgen
