Wow. This looks very much like black magic -- or a FOP black belt trick :-)
Is there another deeper layer of magic in $x_left, $page_width.. ?
I tried with left="0" top="0" width="210mm" height="297mm" in the static 
content area of the page header. But I guess the origin is the upper left 
corner of that area so now I have the right and bottom margins colored yellow 
but the top and left margins still white.
In a certain sense my problem is half solved but the page looks even more 
strange.
