OK. Last that I know from the other suite, is that you have to activate 
the header/footer panes, either by double clicking, or by the menu 
View->Header/footer. Is that still the case?
Also, the header/footer area to be sort of greyed, when the main area of 
the document is active. And the other way round.

So would it be an option the the header/footer area in LibreOffice also 
is a sort of grey, which toggles with getting/loosing focus?

This idea is partly motivated by the fact that our hard page breaks are 
at the same place as the proposed line in the document. (and need a 
slightly more visible default color IMO).
