Hi Mark, Thanks for the reply.
From this i can conclude that the gimp does not choose the display size relative to the dpi of the display, i assumed 10cm at whatever dpi would always be scaled to 10cm on the particular display. So really unless i set the resolution to 1024x768 i'm not going to get 72pdi on a 45cm monitor.
