I use Mac OS 10.4.6, LyX 1.4.1, but this was also the case in 1.3.7:
The default shortcut for closing a window in the mac bind file is
Cmd+W, which closes any open document (as expected). But the Math
Panel and other editing windows (e.g., Paragraph Settings, Edit
Table) cannot be closed using Cmd+W--I've been closing them with
the mouse (which I personally find a little distracting, since
other programs on the Mac platform generally treat dialogs of this
type as regular windows, and Cmd+W works on them).
Can something be added to the bind file to close these things with
a key shortcut? Is this an intentional feature of the program,
i.e., does LyX for Windows also treat dialogs/editing panels as
non-windows?
Try <esc> to close all dialogs.

I'm sorry, I think I was too indirect in making my point. Closing the
window is not something I am having difficulty with--I can do it, but
it works differently from how things normally work in the OS. It
therefore makes the Math Panel and other features of LyX kind of
annoying. Would it be a hard quirk to eliminate?
