I have typed many articles, full of math formulas of course, without 
opening the math panel once. I map whatever math symbols I will use to 
shortcuts and I consider this as the biggest advantage of lyx over other 
latex software. You can have a look at my bind file and its reference if 
interested. (http://www.stat.rice.edu/~bpeng/Computing.htm)

Anyway, this has nothing to do with the math panel problems you have.

I had this problem when I inserted pictures with two . in the file names. 
I.e., ex1.2.3.eps. (This has been fixed in later versions.) If your 
problem is not caused by this, would you explain in detail how to repeat 
this problem?

Try reconfigure? If your 'convert' can handle .eps, lyx should be able 
to.

Surely we can discuss any problem here. My migration from 1.1.6 to 
1.2.1 was quite satisfactory.
