char-right via LyX server and math insets

I'm having some problems with the aspect ratio of figures which are inserted into Lyx. This is with version 2.0.3 on a Fedora 15 system. I insert a .png screenshot with insert->graphics and set the width to some value (with the maintain aspect ratio box checked). The preview looks fine. But,

program to use Lyx as a code-evaluating notebook

I've written a Python program which I'm calling Lyx Notebook. It interacts with Lyx (via the Lyx server) to allow it to be used as a code-evaluating notebook (similar to Mathematica notebooks or the Sage notebook). It's still at an early stage, but I already find it useful. It only works with
