I can confirm, that realign grid does not do anything useful with the 
default configuration of pcb (GTK-GUI). However, with the lesstif GUI 
realign grid works as advertised in section 3.1.2 of the pcb manual: When 
choosing the new align point, the crosshair still locks to the old grid, 
but the cursor points to the new grid point. 

With both GUIs the realign entry in the menu executes GetXY(). Perhaps 
this is an inconsistency between GTK-GUI and lesstif-GUI: With GTK the 
action GetXY() returns the position of the cross hair. By contrast, with 
lesstif the same action returns the position of the cursor.

By the way, the option "--draw-grid" does not work for either GUI.
