That was exactly the reason why I tried to ping you yesterday :)
(1) align-pos-to-grid only affects position, (2) align-grid can affect 
position and size. I am aware having two actions adds bloat -- but now the 
question (not so obvious) is which one is better/more frequently used? 

Use case for (1): user has set perfect size for her objects (e.g. some sort of 
graphics) and want to position them well within the global grid - 
align-pos-to-grid action will keep size of the object untouched

Use case for (2): user has positioned a few objects by hand in a grid; several 
objects have sizes not being an exact multiple of grid size. Then the user 
wants to align all the objects so all their corners are aligned each other, 
what results in better look.

This action was the most recent proposal for shared specs. It's in fact 
similar to combination of select-all + delete.
Being aware that the action is in Kexi for historical reasons and (even more) 
because there is no select-all action yet (due to certain properties of data 
model), I am ok with keeping the action as Kexi-only.
