Yes it gives me a better idea and I'm sorry to have to tell you that this
isn't possible to change :( LyX is as you said WYSIWYMG and this is one
of the examples where you cannot get nearer to the WYSIWYG picture as it
is now.
What I'd like to change in tabulars is:
- allow more special LaTeX packages to work easier
- allow cell selection by row and column
- have the fixed-width of the cell displayed better and allow a automatic
wordwrap inside a table-cell if this is a multiline-cell.

I don't really understand what you did or what you wanted to do :), but
using minipages seems to me a bit wrong as minipages cannot span on multiple
pages. Could you give a small example? I think you just don't know how to
use the "Depth" button ;)
