I do get the "need" for exact values. Not much of issue that this being
possible either [showing rounding and internally being unrounded being worse,
IMHO: similar topic at bug 144279] 

The "main issue" being that the default cell width being a 4 digit number. I
mostly don't think in 4 digits when wanting to change the cell size.

Excel sets the cell size in points; which produces nice round numbers :-) and
not depending on 'locale' (inch/cm)

A radio button in the row height dialog.. Default for PT and another one for
inch/CM would give most flexibility: if there is also a general setting for
setting it to pick PT/CM/INCH whatever'. The inch/cm factor has it's
advantages; see bug 101217

However there objections to to this 'solution' too.. Like the interface bloat
topic :-) 

And I would certainly hold off any change, to check if more bug reports -
complains - appear...
