It has been my experience that auto and 1 ln acts exactly the same.  I think that
real way to do this is as follows:

If you want to be sure that you have a minimum spacing of n lines then you put:
n li
in the line spacing box.  WFW still adjusts the line spacing upward if it needs
more space for taller chars such as {eq \f(1,2)}.  

If you want to fix the line spacing regardless of the height of the tallest char
then you have to preface the spacing with a minus sign.  If you want fixed n line
spacing then you put:
-n li
in the line spacing box.  This also works with pt, etc.
