"My users" want to see the ps output scaled to A4, which I also think is the correct behaviour. Usually you increase the size of the window on the screen to get a better view of things, but when you want to print the figure it should adjust to the papersize.
Also, how do you know the figure is larger than the papersize?!
f = figure(figsize=(5,4))
# resize with mouse, and when you are ready to save:
f.set_figsize_inches(5,4)
savefig('t.ps')
set_figsize_inches will change the printed output, although it does not seem
to effect the screen size (is this a bug?).

Thanks Darren!
I managed to wite a bit of wrapper code to handle this now.
The only bad thing to data is that I hardcode "A4".
Maybe this can be moved into backend_ps.
