I could imagine that we could sneak that into gnumeric.

I think we all agree that this is far from optimal, but so far nobody
has come up with a better interface. Personally I would like to see 3
radio buttons:
O Fit to ... pages wide by ... tall
O Fit to ... pages wide
O Fit to ... pages tall
or (second choice) a radio button, checkbox combo:
O Fit to: x ... pages wide
X ... pages tall
with the special value 0 if used internally hidden from the user.
Unfortunately the dialog is already bursting at the seems and this would
require much more space.

I think this feature is that obscure that it wasn't thought of when the
documentation was written. I think everybody would agree that it ought
to be documented.
