title: How can I change Magento's default grid per page in my local.xml?
body: <p>New to magento here, I have figured out how to use my local.xml to do just about all the changes I need but the grid view has me stumped. I have changed my grid view to 5 columns, so the default 9 items displayed looks sloppy. I want to set it to a multiple of 5. Looking through catalog.xml I figured this should do it:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;reference name="product_list_toolbar_pager"&gt;
      &lt;action method="setDefaultGridPerPage"&gt;&lt;limit&gt;15&lt;/limit&gt;&lt;/action&gt;
  &lt;/reference&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>within both category_catalog_default and category_catalog_layered handles, but no dice. I am struggling with Magento's scattered documentation, but actually coming to appreciate the whole layout thing. </p>
  
  <p>I'm on 1.5.1, if that makes a difference.</p>
