Lynn, I just saw your mail when I logged in... I also hacked a patch which
adds a page to the preferences dialog (attached below, against today's cvs).
Maybe we can share our ideas/approaches? Or, Pawel, which patch do you prefer?

As I expected, the necessary changes are really small and easy to do (I also
did not take code from gedit). Two other ideas are (1) make the margins
configurable (the way gnumeric does it looks really nice. But it's some kind
of overkill, though...) and (2) add a selection for header and body fonts (I
dislike Courier... ;-)). Therefore, I named the new page "printing" and not
simply "paper". I also added a missing paper selection line in the actual
print code, btw.

Hope you like it,

Cheers,

	Albrecht.
