I find inset-settings even in my LyX 1.5.4.
However, I could not get M-x inset-settings to open the settings dialogue
of an ERT box. Tried with the cursor inside the box as well as in front
of the box. (Error message: Befehl ist deaktiviert == function deactivated)
However, I found that while you cannot change an ERT-box to inline-ERT,
you can create an inline-ERT in the first place by binding a key to
"inset-insert ert 1".
If "ERT to inline by command" means changing ERT to normal text, than
"inset-dissolve" is your LFUN. By default, you can do this via pressing
Backspace with the cursor at the beginning of the inset.

BTW:
Why is
inset-toggle renamed to next-inset-toggle while
inset-insert,
inset-apply,
inset-settings, and
inset-dissolve
all keep their names.
Also, if the cursor is inside an inset, next-inset-toggle will close this
inset an not the next one. (It will toggle a nested inset if the cursor
is just before it, though.)
Tests
-----
M-x inset TAB displays a choice of functions starting with "inset":
inset-dissolve convert the inset to "normal" text.
inset-insert prints "LyX function 'space' needs an argument." to stderr
inset-insert ert creates a (closed) ERT box and brings LyX in an
unstable state. (leading to a lyx: SIGSEGV signal caught
crash some trials later).
inset-insert ert foo told my why: LyX: Bad integer `foo'
so I tried with integer arguments, which after the
aforementioned crash came out as:
inset-insert ert 0 creates a closed ERT box.
inset-insert ert 1 creates an inline ERT box.
(but places the cursor behind!)
inset-insert ert 2 creates an open ERT box (also with the cursor behind).
inset-apply prints "LyX function 'space' needs an argument." to stderr
How can I find out other possbile arguments to inset-insert and what
argument(s) does inset-apply expect?
