My suggestion is to allow "dissolution" of a math inset similar to other insets (note, float, minipages and other boxes, etc.): if you place the cursor at the first position in the inset and press Backspace, the inset is replaced by its content. For a math-inset, the content would be the LaTeX source. Then you could toggle between source and math-inset quite easily. Of course, an editable LaTeX source view would be the more generic and long awaited solution - but far more hard to implement. Günter
