I'm compiling LyX against 0.89; however, can't see any scrolling along the
tabs here ?!?! 0.89 crashes also when clicking a "tab partially visible on
the edge of the window".

What about two rows of tabs above each other; that would save width-space
of the dialog? Or is this asking for trouble in Xforms?
