0.1% is more than enough, but the problem is in the fact that it cannot be set. In 1617082 "Blur UI usablity issues" I described the behaviour of the blur function, and there is no possibility to set amounts as trivial as 11%, or 12% for certain object sizes.
No. In that bug, you describe the behavior of the blur slider. That has nothing to do with "the way blur is calculated" as you seem to imply. It's just the GTK slider behavior, nothing else.
That's why you have both the slider _and_ the spinbutton there. The slider is for quick and dirty adjustments, the spinbutton is for precise adjustments if you need them. The precision of the spinbutton is 0.1% and you can _always_ set _any_ radius with that precision, just by typing it and pressing Enter. This works always; if it does not for you, please give me the detailed steps to reproduce.
Besides, I cannot repeat some of the slider misbehaviors that you describe. Yes, the slider jumps in rather crude steps as you drag it, but I am always able to drag it all the way to 0% or 100%. Also I do not see any difference in the slider behavior depending on the size of the object; if you do, please give more details and a sample file.
Finally, I will repeat what I wrote in that bug: we do NOT do anything special with that slider. It's just a stock GTK widget. (By now I even disabled display interruptibility while you adjust blur, so you can't blame the bugs on it.) So if it is weird or inconvenient (and it is, no doubt about that), that's something to discuss with GTK developers.
