1) make the canvas larger
	File -> Preferences -> Sizes

2) Move the layout by some amount to the bottom right. Select all
and drag with the mouse. 

3) Add a layer "outline" and draw the borders of the board with a 
closed trail of lines. The width of the tracks does not matter.

4) draw lines outside the outline :-)

If you wish to have the outline layer by default, start new
projects by calling pcb with a not yet existing pcb file. 
The layer stack of the project created this way is read from 
$HOME/.pcb/preferences and can be edited to suit to your needs.
Look for the lines starting with "groups" or "layer-name".  

By contrast, the default layers gsch2pcb uses are hard coded
into the source.

Hope, this helps.
