This should be fixed before 6.3.

IMHO we should better fix gis.m from working OUTSIDE region. I'm not
as good in tcl/tk to send patch, but just questions:
* would it be possible to resize drawable area to region in gis.m
display? (one way how to deal with user working outside of defined
region)
* or maybee we should add region boundary checking in measure/query
tools? Then only question is - what to do if user HAS clicked outside
region?

I care about gis.m cause IMHO till next stable release new GUI will
NOT be production ready and gis.m is really good, we should just make
it also user frendly and foolproof to provide excelent UI expierience.
