Thanks for clarification. If I understand correctly, "use the image from the old overlay in place of the construction symbol" means that the user can't tell whether a particular preview image is to be updated afterwards or has already been updated, by its appearance only, during the regeneration process is running. Right? Though I don't object to that behavior, I think that difference should be mentioned somewhere in the documentation as a feature (side effect) of non-nil value of the new customize option. >> The TeX code appears _to right of_ the preview for inline math >> expression for me.

Then I'd like to request to update the doc string and preview-latex.texi accordingly. To Arash: It seems that the reason you saw the preview image above the TeX code is that your inline math is at the beginning of line; in that situation, my example indeed behaves as you described, too.
