I noticed this as well (prior to finding this bug) and went off to fix it. The initial wording of the two checkboxes along with the pairing of the "Limit export to the object with the ID" option confused the heck out of me as to what they actually did as initially I thought they controlled what was being output. Instead they control the output's bounding box. Fixing this is fairly easy and I have a patch that does so but I think we need more than a straightforward conversion to radio boxes -- we need new wording for them too.

My current thought is something along the lines of:

Output page size:
o Retain document's page size
o Shrink page size to exported objects

Thoughts?

I see that this would need to be changed for PDF and EPS. I wasn't able to find that option for DXF or other format but if you can point me to them I'll look at those too.
