That is fairly amusing - font sizes in gnome at fixed size?! (Various
different development versions in Ubuntu at least have been bumping them
up and down with different DPI information from the X server. I lie and
tell it I'm at 96 DPI to counter that.)

We still need to specify what size / appearance the grips should have
when you zoom in far enough that the red end of line cues exceed the
size of the grips.

Inkscape keeps tiny grips, but that might get lost against our red cue.
Inkscape's grips are solid rectangles / diamonds though (with outline),
so its got an advantage in that respect.
