Sorry, the context was not properly articulated. ... should have
been... in the apps where it was needed (OO.org and Abiword) it wasn't
an option to crop effectively (or at all) and that's where the
functionality was needed. Jumping to another app was an onerous step
when (ugh) Word could do it cleanly and with no fuss whatsoever.
Anyway, I suspect (hope) that somone's working on a functional crop
for OO.org.
