Hi Vishv,

a very warm welcome also from our side - truly happy to have you
hacking on Impress over the summer! :)

Right, getting into the habit of regular public updates early would be
good, and with a blog, you can build a readership at the same time. :)

So the next steps are, making yourself comfortable with a recent
master build, get sd with debug symbols, and start wrapping your head
around how this is currently implemented. Code to read / place to
stick a breakpoint into and single-stepping is:

 sd/source/core/sdpage.cxx:AsCalcAutoLayoutRectangles()

Happy hacking,

-- Thorsten
