Don't be sorry for explaining things, even if I understand some LaTeX,
it is much easier when we are certain that we understand each other. And
my English is my second language and I do not always have enough time
to express myself clearly :).

I agree, no sane person should do this. So with paragraph, atleast, it only
happens by accident.

Yes, I see what you mean. Paragraph is different, and a poor example. However,
the same happens with other headings as well, where my work around makes
sort of sense(?). Someone might want to put a subsection as a marginpar and
have it show up in TOC. Maybe as an example box or something... Not that I
would advise it though :).

The easiest way would be to make it impossible to put a marginpar in a heading
in LyX. As marginpars floats in the margin there should not be any big
difference
where it is put in the final document.
