Honestly, I had to read your post three times to understand what you
want to achieve.

\setuplayout [leftmargindistance=0pt]
\setupbackgrounds [header] [leftmargin,text] [bottomframe=on]

I'd like  to know,  if there's  a simple solution  (I would  write a
MetaPost three-liner  for this) without touching  the leftmargindis-
tance.

Thanks. I had to do some trial and error before I got what I wanted, but it pointed me in the right direction.
