Then how about this visual:
+- Corner Coordinates (X,Y) ----+
| |
| units: [pt] |
| ([__],[__]) |
| +----+ |
| | | |
| | | |
| +----+ |
| ([__],[__]) |
| |
+-------------------------------+
Thus removing the units option for each coordinate; do we really need this?
Would someone want to enter a set like [ (100pt,2cm), (10in,23cm) ] ?

Rob.
PS: An even more fancier option: add a button which pops up a dialog with
the figure inside; allow two clicks inhere, which positions will be used
as the Corner Coordinates (a little mathematics will do to decide which
click was ment as the "lower left" and which as the "upper right").
Then fill in the values in the scheme above, which then still can be
edited manually to finetune. Just an idea.
