With the latest autopackage working on my machine again, I finally had a chance to play with the new units code. Thank you all it is super. And now I think I have nailed down what my trouble was all along. Would someone please try the following and confirm that I am not crazy.
create a new document change document preferences default units to inches (notice ruler units change) save document and close inkscape. open inkscape open recent the document look at rulers (not inches) open recent the document look at rulers (now inches again)
Thanks, Aaron Spike

Yes. This is because when you starts from empty Inkscape, then open the document into it, it is opened into the same window, and the ruler is not updated. However when you open it a second time, this time a new window is created for it, and in the new window the ruler is set correctly. You may want to submit a bug on this so that I don't forget to fix this when I have time.

Specifically the problem here was that my hack to Boehm GC to stop it using __libc_stack_end got lost somehow. I wrote a new patch to the GC to make it use dlsym and therefore bypass the whole glibc symbol versioning mess and submitted it upstream. Hopefully it'll be accepted and then we can forget about the hazards of statically linking the GC in future.
