I think having the Latex Layout in addition to the ERT inset is actually
the best of both worlds.

The "preferred" method can become the ERT inset (which IS looking better
and better!!! Thanks, everyone!) but there is no reason to chop off
the LaTeX layout since now it can be done without too many "hacks,
hacks, hacks".

So, I modify what I proposed before:

1) Leave the ERT inset code and improve it.

2) Leave the bindings as they are (ERT inset added when TeX
   button is pressed, etc.)

3) Add the LaTeX layout back in.

4) Remove the conversion code that takes a LaTeX layout paragraph and
   transforms it into an ERT inset. A user who really wants an ERT inset
   instead of a LaTeX paragraph should be able to copy and paste the
   paragraph into an ERT inset.
