We should change the code which inserts ascii strings to remove this
stupid hack of aternating normal and protected blanks strings.
Consecutive blanks should just be ignored.

There should not be protected spaces in LyX Code, in fact. The right
way to do what montyline wanted is to select LyX-Code _before_ doing
the insertion of text.
