With "boxes" I mean the LyX insets like they are used for minipages,
comments, notes, etc. They are an established tool for "container" or
"separable" environments that ususally contain several paragraphs but
should stay separate.
Example for the definition in a layout file (local version of seminar.layout)
InsetLayout LandscapeSlide
LyXType custom
LatexType Environment
LatexName slide
Decoration classic
LabelFont
Size Small
EndFont
MultiPar true
LabelString "Landscape Slide"
End
The problem is that you cannot define a conversion à la
Style Slide
Obsoletedby LandscapeSlide
End
as Styles and Insets live in different namespaces.

The new feature would be helpful for the power user, but hidden to the
uninitiated.
Insets are a clearly visible and established metaphor. They are
especially useful for environments that usually include paragraphs
of different type/style as you get the nesting for free.
