The method used to "set the pixels to full pixels values" might matter.

Snapping nodes or bounding box corners to the grid works well and keeps the nodes / paths with integer stroke width aligned to the pixel grid [1]. There are however some known issues when changing the position or dimensions of a selection by entering numeric values in the entry fields on the select tool controls bar (or in the 'Transform…' dialog): for example a precise value might only stick after entering it three or more times; or changing the width or length (of horizontal or vertical lines) also effects the x and y coordinate.

[1] the concept of what snaps to what is important, as well as the type of bounding box used (Visual -- default, includes stroke width, or Geometric). A rectangle with a stroke width of 1 px node-snapped to the grid is still anti-aliased on export to PNG because each edge of the stroke is 0.5 px offset from the path centerline and the rendered path not aligned with the pixel grid.
