I rewrote the gui code and hopefully fixed all issues, please test.
Use the patch or branch 
https://code.launchpad.net/~vaifrax/inkscape/bugfix170049

future work:
- for convenience, add buttons to set origin relative to page (see #62)
- for convenience, add draggable origin (see #61, #63)
- use origin as default for new grids
- optionally specify guides relative to this origin


** Patch added: "first part of a solution for custom ruler coordinate system"

Title:
  Inverted ruler co-ordinate system

Status in Inkscape: A Vector Drawing Tool:
  In Progress
Status in “inkscape” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  The y-axis of the rulers' co-ordinate system is
  inverted (increasing upwards), and places the origin on
  the bottom left of the viewport. The SVG spec places the
  default origin on the top left of the viewport, and has
  the co-ordinate system increasing to the right and
  downwards.
