Hi all
I had worked for a while only with lyx1.6.5 and have not tested the
development version for a while. But as I have seen that you have
released already a beta-version of lyx2.0, I updated my svn to do some
testing. Hope it's not too late. 
What stroke me first, is that the old package-issue is not completely
resolved. Some of you might remember the discussion of
http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org/msg155286.html 
where the problem turned out to be the automatic loading of the package
mhchem upon the use of my own macro "\ce" . 
I am aware that packages are now loaded more carefully (first checking
if the macro has been defined by the user and still offering to deselect
the package in the document preferences, which I find fine. But for my
thesis (written in lyx 1.5.3) this still is not enough. So I have the
following situation:

* All my personal macros (including "\ce") are defined in a child
document via \input. Apparently lyx does not look if \ce has been
defined in the child-document, before loading the package mhchem, so it
is loaded.
* as \ce of the package mhchem is expecting an argument (while my macro
\ce is not), all the equations are completely spoiled.
* If I would save the lyx file, some information (whole parts of
equation-arrays) would be lost!
* Also the latex-run produces errors (same symptoms as in the old
discussions). 
* Even if I go to the document-preferences and uncheck the mhchem
package, its support is not undone and the equations remain spoiled. 

The lyx file is quite big, so I send it only on request. 
Best regards, Sebastian
