Problem is --- LyX has litle idea what the _output_ size is. That's because
the graphics code has been re-written from scratch since 1.1.x. Trust me,
that's a good thing :)

Sure LyX could get this info, but extraction of data from PostScript files
is error-prone at best without a proper PostScript parser.

We just decided to go for simpler code.
