 When using grass with wx gui, one can regret the lack of an interactive
 tool in map display window that would allow to graphically determine
 region bounds via a drag-n-drop box. I don't mean to interact with region
 resolutions, only with boundaries. If I refer to
 gui/wxpython/mapdisp/mapwindow.py, it would be a kind of mix between
 functions Zoom(self, begin, end, zoomtype) and DisplayToWind(self). The
 latter is nice except if you need to define a region whose dimensions
 don't fit with the map display frame ratio...

 My knowledge of python is too poor to propose any concrete coding, but I
 guess it should not be that tricky to implement.

 Does anyone else think it's a good idea that wxgui provides an on-the-fly
 method for region setting ?
