I've checked the target I filed in bugs and it does look much improved since the result of using rtedge inside and outside mged looks identical. The minimization of white space is still an issue, though. For rtedge I would like the autoview to center the view on the bounding box of the objects in view and have just a bit of padding. Perhaps a new option to rtedge would be needed.
