It seems actual user interest is very low on this (even the original 
source of the idea didn't answer to the questions), so I am not going to 
invest more time in it. Everything stay as is, the user should chose a 
big-enough drawing area manually.

Saving our conclusions in a file (thanks Britton, thanks DJ) but putting 
this thing to the lowest prio, and focusing efforts on things that are 
actually backed up by user demand.
