I have 1.1.6fix3, so I presume you mean that'll be ok.

I don't quite understand what you are suggesting I try. Should I
add \usepackage{tabularx} \renewenvironment{tabular} in the preample,
and that will allow me to use the "X" column type ?

This would allow my columns to adjust themselves so that the entire
table is a particular width (\textwidth) so I can have a page which is
like

+---------------------+
| h                   |
|    text text text   |
|    text text text   |

| able table table ta |
| able table table ta |

|    text text text   |
|    text text text   |
|    text text text   |
| f                   |
+---------------------+

?

I'm considering moving back to xemacs for personal documents TBH; but
I'd still like to be able to have "wide" tables in documents which
must be LyX so that others (eg. my boss) have at least a chance of
learning to edit them.
