I prefer the bug :-)
It coulb be nice choose the alignment for the table, because

What's happening with tabular in 1.1.6?
Before LyX 1.1.6 the default behaviour for tabular was {\centering,
but it doesn't happen anymore. All my new tables are left aligned,
but doesn't happen with tables created before than 1.1.5.
Is it a new feature or a mistake?

Re: LYX 1.1.6fix1 does abort after make install
I had a similar problem on Mandrake with lyx 1.1.6. I am guessing there were some changes in the lyxrc file format and older files do not work. I mv'ed my ~/.lyx directory and let lyx recreate it for me. Since almost all the stuff I used to have to change by hand can now be edited from within Lyx this was less of a loss than it seems.

Speicherzugriffsfehler with lyx 1.1.5fix2
Hello again, mhhh really strange. After the test with lyx 1.1.6.fix1 yesterday which made the difficulties with installing I decided to try 1.1.5fix2 at my computer at home. This worked very well. Now I tried to install also lyx 1.1.5.fix2 here in my institute on a PentiumIII 500MHz, 512 MB ram computer with exact the same SuSE Linux 6.3. Configure and compiling seemed OK. But when starting lyx I get the message Speicherzugriffsfehler (maybe something like 'memory access error' in engl). I also get the same message with the pre-installed lyx version from the SuSE distribution (some 1.0.x Version). So it does not seem to do anything with lyx it self. But anyway does anybody have a glue what the problem might be? ... OK I thougt I had fixed it. I had to add the kernel parameter mem=512M. After that lyx gave an error writing >lyx: SIGSEGV signal caught >Sorry, you have found a bug in LyX. If possible, please read 'Known bugs' >under the Help menu and then send us a full bug report.

Feedback welcome! I only had a quick look at it, but seems quite nice :-) Comment regarding 3.3 Inserting figures: You write that "One drawback is that LyX can only handle images in PostScript (or Encapsulated PostScript) format, [...]" And on page 2 footnote 4 you explain the way "LyX -> LaTeX -> TeX -> DVI -> PostScript" When you choose the way "LyX -> pdfLaTeX -> pdfTeX -> PDF" you can include PDF, PNG and JPG images. The only weird is that you have to tell LyX to include an "EPS" image anyway... Marcus http://www.Stormlight.de/lyx_de.html
