the screen and got 424 mm horisontally and 185,5 mm vertically. The result

of 100×100 mm, viewed it at 100% zoom but it was still 75×75 mm, just like
before I calibrated. Does the screen resolution thing work at all? I
experimented with other settings too, but still a 100×100 mm image was
75×75 mm, no matter what values I used.
The quick workaround for my screen is to view at 133% zoom, but that
doesn't feel right…
Tested this at 2 different computers with the same lack of results:
Ubuntu 9.10, GIMP 2.6.8
Ubuntu 10.10, GIMP 2.6.10
Am I supposed to restart Ubuntu for these settings to take place?
You are looking at the wrong place; the screen resolution is one thing,
but the DPI used to compute thje size of an image in pixels when you
give a dimension in inches is part of the Advanced options in the new
image dialog. Its default can be set in teh general preferences in the
default new image section.
