Hi,

I've tried to change all options I could find to say milimeter instead of
inches, and it was still showing me places where the length is shown in
inches.  In the dialog options dialog itself it doesn't change until I
close it and reopen it.  and there isn't something like an apply button.
For other dialogs it seems that I need to the application before it
actually changes.

I also think there are way to many places where I have to change that
setting.  I've changed 6 settings so far.

I've changed the rules to show in mm too, and it's showing every 7 mm,
which is rather strange.

There also seem to be various rounding issues.  If I type 5 mm, it will
show me 5.00 mm in the dialog, but when I close it, and then reopen it
it shows up as 4.99 mm.

Also, the measurements of for instance A4 paper shows up as 209.99 /
296.99 instead of 210 / 297.

It's like everything is stored in inch, and I find it rather annoying.
