lyx-1.5.2.  I chose ams article class.  I don't have any sections in this

Exporting latexpdf, I see:
\numberwithin{equation}{section} %% Comment out for sequentially-numbered
\numberwithin{figure}{section} %% Comment out for sequentially-numbered

How can I change this within lyx?  I don't see anything in document
settings.
Document class "article (AMS, sequential numbering)"?

Thanks.

BTW, having to choose a different class just to get some little variation
is, (let me be kind here...) suboptimal?

Well, funky maybe.

I can imagine a nice dialog with check boxes for this sort of thing.

"This sort of thing" is going to be very class-specific. For AMS, it's a check box to decide whether numbering is within sections ... and another for whether there's numbering at all. For a different class it's going to be something else. So I think what this would require is (1) syntax in the layout file to define options (how to display them in a dialog, what the choices are, what LaTeX to insert for each choice) and (2) an extra dialog in Document -> Settings that self-configures based on that piece of the layout file. Sounds doable (though not by me -- allergy to C++), but perhaps not obvious how many layouts would exploit it. Perhaps it should go on the wiki wish-list and people could vote for it (by suggesting layouts that would benefit from it)?
