Comment 8 for bug 604131

The patched script prevents failure/error if both the relevant dimension of the pattern and 'Space between objects' are '0.0'. However it hides from the user that the visual width of a stroke is not considered as one of the dimensions of the pattern and can lead to unexpected results if the pattern has a wide stroke set, the actual spacing however is set to 0.1 px in the script.

What about displaying a message that one of the two parameters needs to be > 0 instead of using an arbitrary threshold the user can't influence or override?
