One strange behavior still exists, and this just might be "by design". In "Dialogs / Document Preferences / Grid" if I switch "Snap units" from "px" to anything else (or back), the "Snap distance" stays the same. If I change "Snap units" from anything not "px" to anything else not "px", unit conversion is performed. Is this just a "feature" of the pixel unit?
Looks like bug to me. Whatever these px units are, they cannot be screen pixels, and therefore must have a constant coefficient for unit conversions. The only units without such a coefficient are "unit units", percent, em, and ex.

I think that "pixels" are not really pixels, but integer User Space dimensions. An SVG thing.
