Hmmh, there really is no reliable way for a frontend to tell how big
the border is. All you'd get is x/y coordinates with ranges that
don't start at zero. E.g., without border, you might get:
tl-x: 0..200mm
tl-y: 0..280mm
whereas with the transparency adapeter installed, you might get this
(the numbers are made up---I don't have a transparency adapeter
myself):
tl-x: 50..150mm
tl-y: 50..230mm
Of course, you _could_ guess that the border is symmetric, but it
seems to me it would be just as fine to present the "zoomed" preview
area. As long as the rulers indicate that the top-left corner is not
at 0/0, I think this would work fine.
