Comment 2 for bug 611981

I consider it more than a user friendliness bug than a technical one. I agree it is not really an issue, it's rather the default behavior for that particular feature, but the user who is using A4 would probably disagree and isn't interested in techno-bubbles: he just consider the image as something he want to rotate, zoom and drag without restrictions.

Anyway, I agree that all this stuff should be handled with Cairo controls, and I agree to mark this as won't fix after a discussion that gathers other guys' opinion. :)
