This is really a "don't indent" button. It turns off indentation and is
equivalent to LaTeX's \noindent command. If no indentation is set, you
can't indent paragraphs.
If you want to have some paragraphs that are indented, then the way to
do it is to write something like an "Indented" style. This can be put in
a module or just in Local Layout. The LaTeX needed to do it should be
fairly straightforward: I would think it just involved setting \parindent.
The point here is that LyX does things like this in ways that encourage
modularity and reusability, not one-off settings here and there.
(Indeed, in many ways, I'd be perfectly happy to see the whole Paragraph
Settings dialog vanish.)
And there should also be an option for hanging indent.
The hanging module defines a style for such paragraphs.
