I too have been bitten by this recently.

I propose a different solution: Prefer amsmath over wasysym if both packages
are requested, since many wasysym symbols are also available in amsmath. An
additional checkbox is bad because it is a file format change (cannot be
done in 1.3), and because the conflict was created by LyX and should not be
solved by the user (How does an inexperienced user know what to check?)
Of course an invalid .tex file is generated if a wasysym only symbol is
requested. In this case the user has to uncheck the AMS button and stop
using AMS constructs.
The attached tested and working patch is for 1.4. Is it OK to apply it (and
the 1.3 equivalent?
