Go to menu -> analysis -> units and pick lbm - in on the menu. Newly created sketches will use the unit system that you have chosen on this menu. This is handy if you need your part file in one system of units but want to specify sketch dimensions in a different system of units. For example, I recently had to model a small switch where the dimensions on the spec sheet were all metric. All of the files in my assembly are inch; not wanting to add a metric file to my assembly, I simply changed the analysis unit preference and was able to enter all of the metric dimensions directly from the spec sheet into my inch file sketches.

it is not a show stopper for me though.

Are you sure? To check go to information -> part -> loaded parts; the information window will list all the open parts and the unit system of each.
Note: the convert part utility does not convert expressions that have units associated with them. This means that if you start a metric part file and create a few sketches, the dimensions will still show as mm in the sketch editor after converting the file to inch units. If you would like to convert the expression units as well, you can make use of a journal that I wrote a while ago:
