I'm still not very clear on this.

You said that it will use either the PrinterResolution (is that 72 DPI?) or 
the ScreenResolution (actual screen resolution).

BUT, does it still print the picture the same size?  Or is it like screen 
resolution where when you increase the resolution, the image gets smaller.

I know that this doesn't make any difference with KWord because if you 
import a picture, you can set the size of it by changing the size of the 
frame it is in.

So, if I have my screen set at 100x100 DPI and I print a web page with a 
large JPEG and then download it and print if from the "Image Viewer", will 
they be the same size?  I tried this and there didn't seem to be any 
difference.  The size of both of them was 6 inches wide for a 600 pixel 
wide image -- 100 DPI.

So, which applications would size the image based on 72 DPI?

Do I understand correctly that if I set a higher screen resolution that the 
image from Konqueror will be smaller?
