What is the secret to using Lyx with Hebrew?

[Dotan Cohen]

I have tried several configuration of Lyx 1.6 settings, and I can
create mixed Hebrew / English documents just fine. However, I must
select which language each text span is, so that it's directionality
will not be backwards. (English as hslignE for instance). What is the
secret to getting Lyx to do this by itself?

Yes, I have STFW and gone through all TFA but I do not see this
particular issue raised. I asked on the lyx list but nobody there
knows. However, wikipedia and other places claim terrific RTL support
for Lyx, so I assume that this is a misconfiguration error on my part.
