C-Enter works in ordinary text for me, but in a math formula it shifts the
whole formula down one line rather than breaking the line (I am using
1.6 on linux by the way). (As a workaround that might be of use, add
this to your document preamble: "\newcommand{\bb}{\\}" and then
use \bb to break your math formulas - this does seem to have some
weird formatting side effects under some conditions however.)
