Does this mean that it should be disabled when in one-column mode?
This is limiting from latex point of view, but it seems better in
terms of intuitiveness. Are there many people out there who like to
mark their floats as narrow/wide although they are in a one-column
document (probably because the doc will become two-columns later)?

They will probably complain because now they need to use the mouse to
obtain wide floats. BTW should the default be 'wide' or not?

Did you take a look at 
http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=394

It would be nice to apply in some form the patch which is there. I
planned at some time to add it to 1.2.x, but I never did it (I
remember there was something I did not like, but what??).

Also, make sure that this handling and interfece is the same as for
minipages (are there other things that use this placement thing?).
