--- Comment #3 from psarmstr <[email protected]> ---
Went to a mail address I rarely check after 4 years...

Rather than having measurements set at the OpenOffice.org General level in the
configuration, each module has it's own separate idea of which measurement
system to use (and the default is inches, instead of the far more common and
useful millimeters).

As an example, Writer has it in not one, but two places: Writer->General and
Writer/Web->View and then, if I switch to Calc, I have to set it again in the
general settings there.

Measurements should be set at the top level and all modules should use that
(some users may want to override, but that's going to be an edge case).

To add insult to injury, OpenOffice also forgets these settings when upgrading
so they have to be re-set each time.
