just a side note on this thread:
this latest patch is messing up all the previous offset values in boards 
that a user, which had the latest and previous patched pcbnew, opened 
and saved ...
And obviously this mess is happening in a 'silent' way, without any 
warning message for the user which will find all the offset multiplied 
by 25.4...
IMO this is just a bigger headache than what I even thought it may have been
