Ah.. this might be the true reason for one of my latest LyX crashes
I experienced: I was fiddling around to get some .ps figure in the right
place and I accidently typed in something like 1616 cm in the 'height'
box ... *boom*
Btw: I think there are still some improvements possible:
1. One should be able to position the figure more freely, e.g. by
defining some width/heigth offset. Currently most of my drawings are
surrounded by ERT \hspace, \vspace and the like.
2. From the user's point of view, there is not much difference between
floats and inline tables/figures/whatever. So it would be really nice
to have a single menu item 'insert figure' and a check box in the
figure dialog to indicate that it is really a float.
3. I have sometimes problems to get .ps file rendered properly within
LyX. First thing: If the .ps changes LyX does not note it. Ok, that's
definitely a thing I can live with, but if I open the menu add push
'apply' nothing happens. If I change e.g. the size and push apply,
the figure is rendered properly (most of the time that is ;-)).
Happy LyXing ;-)

PS: Rather than fixing the above problems there should be some
introduction into "Hacking LyX for Dummies" ;-) e.g. How to use
CVS, pointer to xform-related stuff, how to make a patch, whom
to send a patch etc. Sometimes I think it would be easier for all
if such minor points as mentioned bove could be handled by the
'user' itself.
