How do major and minor grids differ?  When I select a particular
grid, I want things to be strictly snapped to grid points.  gschem
has some sort of major/minor grid setting, but to me it is
confusing... a grid should be a single setting.

A combo box might be OK, but it is less direct than a list where an
item can be directly selected in one motion+click -- like how I
used to do it by tearing off the View | Grids menu of pcb, before
GTK broke tear-off menus ... what's up? they still show up but the
items are not clickable?!?!  why not just rip out the feature
already.

A mouse option might be nice, but keyboard is sufficient for me, or
possibly a single keypress to bring up a “Grids” dialog where I can
click the desired grid -- more powerful (can list a full table of
grids) and doesn't need to consume valuable toolbar space when not
active.

Regards,
Colin
