Well we would need OKAY | APPLY only if the cursor moves to some other
paragraph isn't it or in general if the cursor moves. We should send a
update signal to buffer dependent dialogs but for this type of dialog we
would need one more signal and that is a signal which activates that buttons
if one of the parameters of the actual paragraph differs with the content
of the actual cursor position (or in the case of the ParagraphLayout the
paragraph we are actually in). Also it would be great to have:
1. A button in the Dialog to update the contents with the actual paragraph
(or whatever) settings.
2. An other way to realize this. Mayby just reopening the dialog (also
without closing it first) should do this. Otherwise if I want to change
only one thing in a paragraph I have to close the Dialog and reopen it
when the cursor is inside the paragraph to have the Dialog with the
right values.

You'd like to do it instantaneously, but that's too slow.
