It needs context perhaps, but on its own, I agree that the explanation is
unhelpful. If anything, it is rather confusing.

In the GIMP 1.2.3 it only appears to change the rulers. I have played with
it for a few minutes, zooming in and out, trying to see the behaviour of
selections and snapping to pixel edges. I still don't understand...

I am not the only one who failed to grasp it...
