Your message is too cryptic for me; you'll have to explain further.

Actually, I've been giving a little thought to updating the Paragraph dialog 
as the user moves around the document.

If an inset dialog is open, then moving the cursor from one inset to another 
of the same type emits a signal and the dialog updates it's contents to 
reflect the new inset.

It strikes me that we should send the same information to the Paragraph 
dialog. At the moment, changing paragraphs results in a call to
        LyXView::updateLayoutChoice()
which changes the Layout visible in the Toolbar combox. Instead of calling 
this function, we should emit a new signal enteredParagraph(). The toolbar 
would connect to this to update the Layout choice. The paragraph dialog would 
connect to it too.

However, the Paragraph dialog is a bit more complicated than an inset dialog. 
Clicking from one paragraph to another should update the contents of the 
dialog, but if you're selecting multiple paragraphs to apply some settings to 
them, then the dialog should not update. How to do this? Is their some sort 
of flag saying that selection is on (so don't update the dialog)?
