The specific change was for Axis. I guess it would also affect any
other GUI using the same graphical preview.

I think that both requests were for users of metric. I don't know why
they wanted more digits, though I guess if you have 0.1um linear
scales you might want to get your money's worth.

I would imagine it depends on the machine. 4 might be too many for a
lumber mill, but not enough for a surface grinder.

hard-codes the numbers to 3 for metric and 4 for imperial.

It looks like glcanon.py doesn't currently look in the INI file, so it
is more than a one-line change.
