Hi,

I managed to redesign a new bounding-box-tab using fdesign.
I find this version much more intuitive.

My knowledge is insufficient to integrate this into LyX,
so I have attached a screenshot of the fdesign window and a
gzipped/tar file with the form_graphics.fd and a pixmap file.

This design has a few trade-offs:

1) Only one Units-entry for all coordinates; previously each
   coordinate had its own unit selection, but that was not so
   useful.

2) No keyboard-shortcuts to the coordinate-value fields.
   However, somehow it must be possible to hop from field
   to field by hitting the tab-key. Does that need additional
   coding, or will that work automagically?

3) I have included a pixmap to illustrate the figure coordinates.
   There doesn't seem to be another dialog that uses pixmaps,
   so is using pixmaps in dialogs against LyX-dialog-policy?

Regards,
Rob.
