dear lars,

you should be able to modify the bond radius setting to
arbitrary fractions via the script interface using 'mol modrep'.
the textfield itself cannot be edited (it _was_ possible with
some older version of VMD, IIRC).

it may be a good idea to hack this (back) in. i don't know
FLTK, so i don't know, so i don't know, whether it would
need to reimplement FL_Counter in RadiusCounter and
ResolutionCounter in GraphicsFltkReps.h or just add a flag
to the existing classes.
