You can hide the label by right-clicking in the character style.
Unfortunately, this is not saved, and you have to do it for any single
charstyle again.
For 1.5, I'm just working on a patch that lets you hide all labels at once and
probably also saves the settings (whether the labels are shown or not). The
former might even go into some future version of 1.4 (the latter not, because
it entails a file format change).
Some charstyles are like "bold", they stand out in lyx. Others
are more subtle and may need a label.
Some ideas:
* Where the charstyle is defined, let the implementor specify wheter
it should have a label or not. That way, we can do away with labels
for styles with obvious visual appearance like "large bold red".
* Also, the style could show in the minibuffer area whenever the cursor
goes into styled text. When nesting happens, show all the styles there.
* Have some way of defining "icon labels" so that the label can be
very small and unobtrusive, and still identify the styled text.
