Asger proposed a solution to this. Each dialog could save its
'stateful' variables in files preferences.xforms, preferences.qt etc

Indeed. Isn't the current, 1.4.x heirarchy something like:
Insert->XYZ->External Material
where I forget XYZ, leading to
Insert->XYZ->XFig, etc.
Of course, we might have a separate 'External' sub menu
Insert->External->Latex File
Insert->External->Vector graphic file
Insert->External->Bitmap graphic file
Insert->External->Xfig file
Insert->External->Tgif file
Insert->External->Dia file
At least these might have bindable shortcuts, but I agree that the
menus are creaking somewhat.
Anyway, I'll try and add transforms to the External dialogs first.
Thereafter, if you personally want to scrap use of InsetGraphic, then
there's one less thing stoping you from doing so.
