Hi, over at the abiword assembly line we're using a lot of GtkEntry widgets for displaying the size of stuff like page width/height, table cell size ... There is no recommendation how to handle a size with units in the HIG. Well there is [1], somewhat related but not quite.
So: + How to display a size with unit in a GtkEntry? Just append the unit part? Put the unit part outside the GtkEntry like [1]? + How to edit a size with unit? This obviously depends on the previous question. Should used units be changeable per GtkEntry? per App? global Desktop setting like LC_NUMERIC? Should the unit be entered in "plain text" or using a dropdown? How is the current unit displayed while editing is in progress? Can it be overwritten?
