Shrug. What can I say? Let's return to the old days of xforms in the core?
Incidentally, I trigger exactly the same crash with your patch as you did and
I too have no idea why. However, I also think that Insert->Vertical Space
whould not insert an inset directly. Rather it should launch the VSpace
dialog, allowing the user to set the variables. In turn, this needs a
VSpaceMailer class to transfer data between the core and the frontend.
One final thing. Why does 'doInsertInset' not take a 'LyXText const &' as its
first argument? Works for me...
