One of the things IM is missing, and that I've wanted many times
during technical demos and presentations, is the ability to
reduce the size of the _window_ in which the image is displayed.  In
my opinion, this is what -geometry should do---not rescale the image,
but only reduced the window, showing a portion of the image.  In this
case the panner should pop up to allow panning around.  -size or some
new switch should be used to do scaling.
