What about simply pasting such non-obvious things turning up on the
list by and by into a short lyx-magics.faq? 

Don't think it would be much work, but of enormous use! Aren't you a
bit tired by question repetition? The only problem is that it has to be
done by somebody well accustomed to LyX. Others may take it up and edit
it then; don't worry a second about the form as long as there is
*correct* info in it. Such thing is really missing, and the mail-lists
won't help if you don't know what keyword to search for!
