NOOOOOO! I know Lars already responded, but I want to yell again. I
suggested renaiming this to "graphic" precisely because 1) we need to get
away from LaTeXisms, and 2) this isn't even how LaTeX uses it. A LaTeX
figure is what we currently call a "figure float". That's really bad, and
I suggested calling it simply "figure", since that is what the rest of the
world would call it. What LyX called a figure, LaTeX loads with
includegraphics, and is what the rest of the (English speaking) world
would call a graphic, image, picture, etc., but not "figure". I'm willing
to accept the existing terminology for 1.1.6fix?, but it should be changed
by 1.2.0.
