It adds a minipage in cell in a fixed width column, where the width of the
minipage is the width of the column.
For example,
\begin{tabular}{p{5cm}}
cell without 'use minipage'
\\
\begin{minipage}[t]{5cm}
cell with 'use minipage'
\end{minipage}
\end{tabular}
I'm not sure why this is needed:
1) It seems that the only use for this is to have footnotes in a cell,
and have the footnote text in bottom of the cell.
2) Adding a minipage will mess up the vertical spacing of the cell.
3) If a minipage is really needed in a cell, it can be added manually
with Insert->minipage (although the user will need to manually match its width
to the width of the column).
