Well, after eventually looking into the documentation of the geometry
package, one question came into my mind allmost immediately. Where are
the buttons for the mode keys like noheadfoot in LyX. That would be
very useful when you are writing very simple notes etc.
For example two extra buttons No header and No
footer in the paper layout menu would be nice. When you for example
press the No header -button also geometry button gets active and makes
the Headheight: and Headsep: entries inactive (ie. grey text).
