To everyone who uses snapping in Inkscape:
We plan to make _screen pixels_ (not px units) the default unit for snapping distance, so that e.g. snapping at 5 pixels remains the same distance on screen regardless of zoom.
The question is, do you still need absolute (not zoom-independent) units for specifying snap distance? If so why?
If there are no voices in defence of abs units, we will remove them altogether and use _only_ screen pixels. This will simplify the Doc Prefs dialog and will be generally saner and simpler.
I'm with Aaron on this... retaining the current behavior as an option would be optimal in my book. I don't use snapping all that often, but, when I do, the ability to zoom in and have the snapping work based on absolute units is very helpful to me.
