i don't really know if this may help, but try:
inserting the figure by lyx-menu gives an centered image,
but for floatflt you need a non-centered one. therefore mark the
image with shift cursor right (or left), do a ctrl-x and insert
it with ctrl-v again. now it's on the left side. now run ps-view.
this works for me.
my structure is:
\begin{cminipage}[yellow]
\begin{floatingfigure}[l]{4.5cm}
.. the inserted image ...
\end{floatingfigure}
Text Text ...
\end{cminipage}
