I guess there is a movement towards device-independence though, and  
respecting the DPI would seem to be in that spirit. In general, as a  
user responsible for eventual print publication I'd always rather  
specify the physical size of an image and its DPI rather than it's  
pixel dimensions. So in some ways the new behaviour makes a lot of  
sense.

However, I bet quite a few things have been written expecting the old  
behaviour.  Preview Latex and Docview spring to mind...

Cheers,  Jody
