Yes, but it is just that: a workaround to fix an interface defect.

BTW, I've started a new thread in the UX list 
(libreoffice-ux-advise@lists.freedesktop.org): "The "no border text" 
feature in Writer 3.5 is not complete"
where I ask for the return of a previously existing option: display or 
hide the text limits.

I understand your thoughts.

Telling things is better that shutting up.

What bothers me the more on the users lists (FR is the same for that 
matter) is the recurring motto Regina sang: "discussing here will not 
make it appear."
To tell the truth, this is a shoking answer. Users may not wish to 
register to some "strange" or hidden list for a one-shot message, 
non-english speaking users might feel they are set aside. As the users 
lists are frequently visited by members of TDF, it would seem important 
these knowledgeable people report to the devs, if the devs themselves 
don't lurk round here (which is a shame development-wise).
