I want to add, that for this to work the
template manager -> options -> template options -> Preview Module Positions
must be set to Enabled. At least it is required in Joomla 1.7.3, not sure
about previous versions. I imagine out of possible security concerns some
Joomla websites might want this disabled.

This is especially helpful to have when working with a new template and
also it makes it easier to see what parts of the screen are not controlled
by the Joomla template but by K2.
