As far as I know, a paragraph with hanging indent should be like this:
--------------------------------
|hanging indent foo foo foo |
| foo foo foo foo foo foo foo |
| foo foo foo foo foo foo foo |
--------------------------------
>From the outside, nobody can see the hanging indent, and the space in

itself *is* rectangular.

Hmm, it could be something that is handled in layout file. As far as
LyX is concerned, there is not much difference between a footnote and
a minipage...
