Yes probably. We need some small bits of glue in either direction so I
do think either decision is fine. Moreover the concept of 'document
global' is certainly the easiest one...
One question: what should now be the meaning of y in Inset::draw()?
Currently it is 'screen absolute' as far as I can tell. Do we change that?
Going to 'doc absolute' would mean adding lots of top_y() all over the
place when calling the low-level drawing routines.
Another option ('nicer' perhaps...) would be to do the top_y()
addition in all low-level routines (i.e. Painter::line() ::rect() etc)
Should we just do that?
