If an options dialogue is not provided, it might be nice to still be able to
edit the options, perhaps by providing in the package an explanation of the
profile file. Some stuff (preferred printer settings, initial font/size,
initial zoom) are user-specific.

I really hope the zoom-rewrap thingie is fixed soon. It makes it very hard
to consider it WYSIWYG when little of the text is on the same lines on the
printout }:-)
