These items are very painful to use when you have discovered you need 15
more row/columns, why oh why did the dev guys remove the ability to
resize by multiple at one time!

The toolbar is available in 1.4.3 and 1.4.4 (can't recall whether 1.4.1
and 1.4.2 had it). The only difference is how you turn it on/off. To
toggle it manually, right-click on empty space anywhere in the main menu
(say, to the right of 'Help') and select/deselect it. The same works
for the minibuffer or the math toolbar. (For some reason, you can
toggle the minibuffer on with C-x, but to get rid of it you have to go
the menu.)
To make the table and/or math toolbars open/close automatically based on
context, you have to edit a UI file. Copy default.ui (assuming that's
the UI you use) to the ui folder under your document home, open it with
a text editor, and change the table and/or math lines to something like
the following:
"table" "table,bottom"
"math" "math,bottom"
The first argument in "table,bottom" tells LyX to activate the toolbar
when you're in a table; the second tells it in which margin of the
window to dock the toolbar.
