I would then use merely three buttons in this dialog:
<OK>: apply the preferences to the current document(s)
(do NOT save them for a next session).
Close also the preferences dialog.
<Save>: save the the settings to file and *apply* also
to current document(s); these settings will
also be used next time LyX is started.
Do NOT close the dialog.
<Cancel>: close the window without saving or applying anything.
I would strongly recommend to drop the <Restore> button.
What does it restore? The saved settings, or the 'OK'ed
settings? Or the system-wide settings? Far too un-intuitive!

PS: I even would go as far as recommending to remove the
<Restore> button from the Paragraph->Layout and
Document->Layout.
Also here this button is quite un-intuitive; at least to me,
I still haven't figured out what it actually does!
