I use lyx for mathematical papers, and just for thinking over some analysis, all the time - its a really nice tool.
I have one little request: The math panel (I am using the 1.3.5 rpm for susie 9.1) eats half my screen width, leaving only half for the document. This may depend on the GUI library of the build? The Symbols box could easily slip to the left under the sum option and font buttons almost halving the screen width consumed without much change in height. Other size economies may be possible - e.g. functions on a pop up, in line with the 6 (useful) little button array, would allow a broader symbols area... The bracket (delimiters) box could be halve as wide when keep matched is checked. With these changes I could have the math panel and still have the bracket and greek pop ups showing, with only 1/4 page width loss. It might be useful to (be able to?) reduce the font and button size in these dialogs too? Is there a build (lib selection or ...) which would achieve some of this already?
