Summary:

All default document templates including ones with page sizes defined in other units have viewboxes with user units defined as millimeters.

Steps to reproduce:

• in the welcome dialog pick a template with document dimensions defined in pixels or inches
• access Document properties and check the scale (viewbox) settings

What happened?

All document templates have user units defined as millimeters.

What should have happened?

Each document should start with a scale of 1 and the user units matching the units defining document dimensions.

This makes documents easier to read in plaintext and is particularly useful for web applications where human-readable SVG code might be important. I'm not sure if that millimeter user unit is intended or if it carried over because the templates were built starting with a file in millimeters and nobody bothered to change that.
