OK, I found it in /usr/share/lyx/ui/stdmenus.inc. So I'll just put an
Alt+C Charstyles just before help, and make sure that has *only* the
charstyles. I'm pretty sure I can figure that out by the way the
current menu is built. My only question is this: Other than
modifying /usr/share/lyx/ui/stdmenus.inc, what file can I put it in? I'd
like to modify some file under my home directory so it survives LyX
upgrades.

By the way, I think doing this will give me about 80% of what I asked
for in the first email. I'm looking forward to it.

Thanks,
