I think the bug report can be extended to make all the input boxes unit aware.
Since it is not the just the input boxes in the grid docker are not aware of
other units, it is other input boxes as well. 

For example the input boxes for the rectangle, ellipse (selection as well as
shape) tool or the input box for the brush are all pixel only. Some use cases
for making them unit aware as as follows

1) You want to illustrate a book cover and need a rectangular shape to denote
the spine of the book cover, currently you will have to input accurate pixel
value to draw the rectangle.

2) You are designing a line art which will be printed and want to have a brush
size in print value example a 2 inch flat brush. 

Ideally the input box should take value in inch and convert it to pixel for the
user. One example of these type of input boxes can be found in inkscape, the
input boxes that appear on the tool bar above when you use shape tools in
inkscape behave this way
