I strongly agree with andre. The main reason I agree is that when I want to insert a
maths
symbol, I /always/ go to the Insert menu first, instinctively, and get quite annoyed
when I remember where it really is.
I think you're getting hung up on the name of the menu entry. Let's call it
Insert->Math Symbol
instead, problem solved (a bit).
Really, I have thought Edit sucks as a place for the math panel for a long long time.
Most of the menu re-jig was a really good idea but this one was a baaad idea IMHO
