Hello Wolfram,

Thanks for having forwarded the reply. I don't agree 
with Buliayak's arguments because, sometimes, it makes 
more sense to use absolute units like 'cm' and to expect 
they would be displayed at the right scale on the screen 
(programs like gs, Adobe Reader, Scribus... do that).

Anyway, it's a minor bug and inkscape is a very promising 
program.

BTW, looking at the beginning of the file "src/unit-constants.h"
let me think this bug could be fixed some day.

with best regards,
