With the camera profile I use (stolen from CaptureNX; see [1]), the optimal linearity is somewhere between 0.00 and 0.01. At 0.01, a lot of the low blacks end up getting crushed, and at 0.00, the shadows are too light.

The (tiny) attached patch increases the precision by a single order of magnitude, but doesn't affect how any of the controls typically work. Scrolling still changes the value by 0.01 and page-up/page-down by 0.05. However, if you need to, you can now manually edit the box to use, for example, 0.004.
