This is the trick, choose some huge value, say 10000 (if you have paragraphs
with more than 10000 characters then you should reconsider your writing style
;-)).
Using this absurd value will ensure that in pratice no paragraph will wrap.
I tried and it works, I have been able to reproduce your second case.

This will not work, at least in the qt case as the maximum value allowed is
120.
So I advise you to change this value by hand.

No need to with the first suggestion from Angus.

LyX and docbook, a perfect match. :-)
