wg states: "Moving objects with the arrow keys always moves them for 1 mm no 
matter what
grid settings you have made."

This is awkward in many regards; her are some of them:
(1)
When the grid is set to 1 inch (1 inch = 25.4 mm), the arrow keys will move the 
objects off the grid, e.g. 
you then cannot use the arrow key in order to move an object by exactly one 
inch!
(2)
If the this grid has 11 subdivisions (which is quite convenient) you cannot 
replace the use of the mouse 
by the keyboard in order to move objects stepwise by 1/12 inch.
(3)
The same problem occurs if the grid is set to 1 cm (1 cm = 10 mm) with 2 
subdivisions because now the 
mouse will move objects by 1/3 of a cm but the arrow keys will not.

In all other vector graphics environments which I know, the arrow keys respect 
the grid and its 
subdivisions. And of course all users expect OpenOffice.org to obey this 
convention. Otherwise there 
won't be so many false suggestions in the various OpenOffice.org fora.

This is a really serious issue.
