[Qgis-developer] [Qgis-user] Opinion on an idea for plugin - Print composer guide manager

[Andreas Neumann]

I agree - this should go into core in version 2.6 - guidelines that 
behave similar to known drawing apps like Inkscape/Illustrator and a 
guideline manager that allows to create, change and delete guidelines 
with exact values.
