In fact 0 is no special case here. If the PPD for my laser printer was correct 
it would say that the *minimum* physical margins accepted by the printer are
3mm. But using 3mm as default margins looks crappy.

As Kurt Pfeifle made me realize, the margins from the PPD are only meant to be
used to warn when setting too small margins (in applications like koffice),
i.e. "this is outside the printable area" (like MSWindows does; we don't have this
kind of check in KOffice yet). They are really the strict-minimum margins, which
doesn't mean they make reasonable defaults. Can we keep Qt's defaults 
(half-inch/third-inch if I read correctly) when using setFullPage(false)?
More aggressive (but more consistent) patch attached.
