What do you think? I think the workflow you're suggesting makes the not-always-true assumption that the user does not use the "frame" layout for the *content* of the frame, and only uses nested layouts (e.g., itemize or standard). Did I understand right? What abut making it so that if the user changes the layout to "frame title", then a *new* frame is started (i.e., LyX realizes "oh this frame already has a frame title so the user must want a new frame)?
