As somebody said in the bug report, it would be easier to give an 
opinion if we could see some screenshots...

Without having seen any examples, I'd probably have tried 3 or 6 first 
myself, simply because most HIG spacings tend to be based on multiples 
of 3.  But we really need to see the options in action to give a 
reasonable opinion.

Cheeri,
