Printing marks needs more precision

[Full Decent]

In Extensions -> Render -> Printing marks this is great. But in the US, it is common to see requirements of 1/4" or 1/8" bleed. If you type in a number like 0.25 or 0.125 here, it will truncate to 0.3 and 0.1. Was hoping to use the full precision here.

confirmed on Windows XP, recent development build.
If I specify the units in inches, then the spin box truncates the value. However, it appears that the rendering is probably being done correctly. If I specify 0.125 inches for offset, then the XML editor shows entries like 11.25 px, which is correct, namely 90/8 as expected. Also the preferences file shows the entry
org.inkscape.printing.marks.crop_offset = "0.125".
It appears that only the spin box display is wrong.

A temporary workaround might be to specify these values in pixels instead of inches, where 1 inch = 90 pixels.

<offtopic>my personal preference would be to eliminate the spin box entirely, and just use a text box instead</offtopic>

The following patch fixes the UI issue (spin boxes' precision increased to 3 decimals).
