hmmm, I just notice that the proprietary solution produces different  
results depending upon the setting of the default axes units.

When the default axes units are set to 'normalized' the proprietary  
solution favors leaving room for the ticklabels. When set to pixels/ 
points/inches/centimeters the proprietary solution favors preserving  
the width/height of the axes (i.e. plot area).

Also the behavior changes when the x/ylabels or title are present.

A compatible solution will take more time.

Regarding the changeset already posted, I don't have a preference to  
push or not. If it is preferable to push it, let me know.
