I could not agree more! I worked-through the tutorial, read the sections of the user guide on wrapped-text, looked through the wiki some. But I found nothing on fighting with text-wrapping issues; I'm /still/ uncertain what I can move that I haven't already tried.
Also, *including* examples that don't work out-of-the-box is asking for support requests. Don't get me wrong, I think it's great that they're available! If it were my choice, however, there would be a website link to "additional examples of things LyX can do such as x,y,z"...of course the website would "shout" here are the additional plug-ins you need to do [whatever].
