Hi Máirin,
I used to stumble over the same issue until someone posted this default
settings (see attached file). The grid is set up as Johan Engelen
explained in previous mail.
Since then I draw happily perfect alligned icons. When I switched from
illustrator to inkscape it was this allignment issue that I really missed
until I got hold of these grid settings, since then I prefer to pixel
allign in Inkscape,
Mit freundlichen Grüßen

I don't think I ever modified this so it must be the default setting?
Oddly, my 1 px line is at .00 x .00 coordinates when I turn on geometric
bounding box but the line is blurry / inbetween pixels. If I make the
coordinates .05 x .05 then the line is crisp. (?!)

I think if the pen tool is set by default to draw 1 px and it is
impossible to draw a crisp, pixel-grid aligned 1 px wide (or any odd
integer width) line, it's a bug, isn't it?

It just seems odd to me that it's not possible to draw a straight
pixel-grid aligned line in Inkscape out-of-the-box. Thanks for the
workarounds and for confirming I'm not crazy though, I thought I must be
missing something.
