--- Comment #62 from Callegar <[email protected]> ---
A lot of other bugs have been marked as duplicate of this one, but often they
carry a better description of the issue than this one, that I find somehow
confusing.

>From this bug you may get the impression that the issue is with the odf file,
or better with the image files embedded inside it, lacking (correct) DPI
information, so that you need to fix your odf file. You may even incorrectly
get the impression that there should be a relationship between the image
resolution and the screen resolution.

In fact, there is no reason at all to assume that when a picture carries no DPI
info, the DPI configured for the screen should be assumed for the picture. This
is not "an unexpected but correct behavior". Such value is hardware dependent
(or even dependent on user preferences) and subject to change, so unsuitable
for layout on anything that is not a single monitor with a single
configuration. Conversely a fixed value should be used and because it is better
if every one uses the same, one should rely on the de-facto standard fallback:
if a picture carries no DPI metadata, then 72dpi should be assumed. This is a
convention inherited from early Mac systems and PostScript.
