How often does LyX crash ?
We are currently doing some cleanup of the math editor, which will hopefully
fix your problem.

While in some cases it is impossible to include one class in another (for
example include a slide file in a book), some cases are possible and might
be useful: for example, one can write several papers using the article
class, and then write a thesis using the book class and include the papers
into the thesis (using some ERT to remove some parts of the included files).
Therefore, I think that LyX should allow including files with different class.
The fix is very simple (see the patch).

I think than the plan for the future is to replace the math panel by a second
row of buttons in the toolbar.

This is a problem in LyX. I've created a fix for this problem some time ago,
but I've lost it :(. I'll recreate it soon.
You can currently disable the use of the temporary dir
(open the preferences dialog, and go to the inputs->paths tab).
> Crossreferences between files: In "extended features" you have an approach
for crossreferencing between files, but it doesn't work for 1.1.6, because
you close file-specific windows whenever you change file. SO how is the
approach now?
Suppose that your files are master.lyx, chap1.lyx, chap2.lyx,
and you want to insert a label from chap2.lyx to chap1.lyx.
You have two options:
1.Open master.lyx, open the insert reference dialog, and return to chap1.lyx.
Now, whenever you open the insert reference dialog in chap1.lyx, you will
get a list of all labels in all the files.
2. Type M-x reference-insert ref|++||++|<label> where <label> is the required
label.
