Grrr...  what'd they have to go and do that for?   Hmmm... guess I'll have
to do the greps in a somewhat more involved manner.

This value is what converts between centimeters (used internally in Dia)
and points:  72 pt/in / 2.54 cm/in = 28.35 pt/cm.  This might be the same
error that Steffan ran into:  
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99876

Hans also mentioned having to have that as 1.0 or thereabouts.  How very
confusing.

That differs from distribution to distribution.  Can't help you yet.
