Fooling with bitmap resolutions gives me a headache, and I havent' figured out how to make it look good on screen and also good when printed. My students print my pages a lot. Thanks for Inkscape, tho -- it is perfect for me. I like the interface, and since it saves in SVG format, I get web pages without the intermediate bitmap bother.
