Bleed and slug layout

The step from desktop printing to professional printing is not very big anymore. 
It would be nice to have bleed and slug settings for a page. 

Now you can only set margins in the page layout menu. If you do not have bleed edges you can not really use images that are as big as the page. Because usually in a print shop pages are cut to size after printing. If an image is full page size then you have a big risk of getting a white line or you have to cut below the A4 size which is not very nice. As a workaround you could make a page bigger than A4 and then correct with margins but that is a bit hackish.

Mmh, I'm not getting the clue of this bug report I guess.


So as far I understand, with no professional printing skills: you would like to have a full A4 image printed, without the chance of having little whitespace?

What if you do the following:

Format > Page > 'Page' : all margins to 0 cm; and in the same dialog but tab 'Background' option 'Graphic'.

Doesn't that apply an image to the complete area of the page? What am I missing here :-)?
