Fixed! (this was only when resizing vertically!)

This is wanted behaviour, but maybe I will enter the inset automatically on
mouseclick and Edit() call.

Implemented!

This is a problem of LyXText which should break the row if the inset is
larger then the screen on this position. I will have a look at this, but
till then you can fix this by putting a space between the word and the
inset.

I could not get the SegFault, but IMO this is fixed too now!

The problem here is that when the picture is loaded somewho the inset is
not redraw or it didn't call BufferView::updateInset()!

Well this is because we only repaint from the actual row down (to be faster
so the paragraph now above is not updated, Lars do you know a fix for this?

I've also seen that it is not updated right when typing inside a tabular
cell a multi paragraph. I'll have a look at this, when I've time.

Sure only so it is possible to stabilize new software, keep them coming
(well I'm sure there are really few "missing features" left in inset
tabular ;)
