Some of the dialogs in LyX are already non-stateless: for example, the
tabular create/matrix create dialogs. However, this does make some sense
because if you insert a 3x3 matrix then it is likely that your next matrix
will also be 3x3.
On the other hand, other dialogs are stateless (for example the print
dialog) and inconsistency is bad.
