If you've verified the bug and have no resolution, why did you close it as resolved?  I'm asking that it be 
reopened.

As you have just discovered, the "step size" is another GTK bug: they don't actually *have* a step size.  
They have a *paging* size that's keyboard-only, as if users primarily used a keyboard.  More importantly, 
N800 users practically NEVER use a keyboard to move a slider.

As it stands, there is no way to change the tick resolution of a slider to something other than a power of 
10.  The workaround I've done in my code is to use powers of 10 internally but to totally change the slider 
format string to display something else.  It's pretty brutally ugly.
