There is a plugin in svn called "slippymap" that does this (for l12),  
but it is somewhat alpha. It can load existing tiles from the tile  
server into the background and does show a l12/l7 grid, and it was  
intended to add functionality to request re-rendering and display  
meta information. But there are some issues with it, notably that it  
sits before any other (landsat etc.) background, making that  
invisible. And I wanted to put the "select download area by tile  
number" feature into the plugin, and for that I have to first re- 
structure the download dialog to allow plugins to define areas....  
and then there are so many other things ;-)

Bye
Frederik
