You're a bloody legend!
The new design is better than what I had thought of and the logic seems
spot-on. I've tested all sorts of combinations of stuff and it produces
the right results. Very nice indeed.
All that is missing are some feedback messages to tell me to include units
in my dimensions and such.

I haven't looked at the code yet but the logic and operation are
excellent. Where have you been hiding all these years that LyX needed a
human-computer interface designer?
You are not allowed to leave until you've revised all the dialogs. Okay?

P.S. Angus, the buttoncontroller for the latex log dialog complains about
missing transitions in the OkCancelPolicy. This dialog should be
using the IgnorantPolicy since Update is not equivalent to an OK
(policy wise).
In fact the state machine for the latex log dialog would have just
one state and all inputs transition to that same state -- this is
exactly what IgnorantPolicy does.
