I must say that the ArcToolbox tool raster -> shift does not the same thing. It
seems to be a frontend to gdalwarp.

Although being aware of the answer Hasmish posted:
What would be the appropriate way to adjust vectors for wrong bounding box?

I have also some vetcors that were digitized ontop of the wrongly adjusted
raster layers.
As there is no v.region, what tool would you recommend?

Thanks in advance,
Timmie

P.S.: Thanks to all for their responses. I am now under way to try them out.
