Maybe 'floatflt' isn't such a good name to have in the menu? (What does
the 'flt' stand for -- is if "float" again?)
   

/Christian,

 That's what I've assumed. I think that 'floatwrap' would be better, and
it's only 1 char longer.

Also the documention "Figures and Imported Graphics" in the User's 
guide  refers to "figure floats" (section 4.3.1) only. 

" To suit the LyX mentality of automating such processes, you might find 
it preferable to use Figure Floats, which LyX (actually, LaTeX) is free 
to move about your document as it deems necessary for a good fit."

...

"To place a Figure Float simply select Insert->Floats->Figure Float from 
the menu bar. You will get a float without a figure in it; use the 
toolbar icon described above to insert the actual figure."

There is no way to guess from this (that I can see) that 
Insert->Floats->Figure does one thing and Insert->Floats->Figureflt does 
something else which is probably not what you wanted.  The example 
picture does not show any text wrapping for example.
