Re: [docbook-apps] I'm want to indent only 'section/para', not 'section/para/programlisting'

The problem is that the XSL-FO property text-indent is an inherited 
property.  That means it is applied to any fo:block elements contained in 
the para's fo:block.  That's why the fo:block containing your programlisting 
text also has that property, even though it doesn't show in the FO file. 
The other complication is that para allows both inline and block elements, 
as well as text, so it can be difficult to sort out how to apply a solution 
to subelements of para.

You might try this oversimplified solution using fo:wrapper to turn off the 
text-indent for all subelements:

<xsl:template match="section/para/*">
    <fo:wrapper text-indent="0pt">
      <xsl:apply-imports/>
    </fo:wrapper>
</xsl:template>

This wraps any subelement output in an fo:wrapper to reset the text-indent 
property. It then uses xsl:apply-imports to apply the stock DocBook template 
for each subelement.  However, if you have a customization of one of those 
subelements, then the apply-imports will ignore that customization and go 
back to the original stock template.  So any customized templates for such 
elements must also have this solution.  Not pretty, and there are probably 
situations where it won't work properly.
