When working on CD/Book covers etc, the printing office requires them to be > 300 DPI. So I suppose if you have the ability to work on a vector image and export it to a raster format with a defined DPI, it will be pretty awesome and handy.

The DPI setting in the dialog is ignored, then? I would assume that one usually wants everything exported with the same DPI. Actually, I have trouble to think of a reason for varying DPI.

Work on web or interface graphics is usually done in pixels, so the DPI setting is irrelevant anyway. You *could* use it to scale the work, but if we want this functionality, it would better be with a dedicated "scale" settings and not through DPI.

Speaking of which, DPI is the wrong term here. Dots per Inch are used on printers, which actually print tiny dots. The correct term with exporting raster images is PPI or pixels per Inch. I don't currently have Gimp installed - what do they use there? Photoshop uses "Pixels/Inch".
