I agree completely with Trevor. If you are serious about "what you
see is what you mean" and "LyX lets you concentrate on writing" (from
http://www.lyx.org/WhatIsLyX ), the message should not be displayed.
So you volunteer to handle the bug reports saying "LyX doesn't
accept what I type" ... ... ... "Ah, two spaces... won't work."?

Oh like the "bug repots" of "LyX doesn't put my images where I want",
etc. Come on guys, this is ridiculous. If some thing one should do before
using anything is to read the manual, and there it is well written: "LyX
is WYSIWYM", so meaningless thing won't work, like two consecutive spaces
unless you really want them and then you can just do CTRL+space, voila!
two spaces. So I join the one who thinks meaningless messages must be
ridded out of LyX.
+1 with Trevor

A really useful message that doesn't appear is when you type carriage return
without line break or paragraph break, it shoud appear as "detected line
without line break" or something else. By line breaks I mean the "." or ":"
or "...", etc. What is the sense of a line without period?
