Gimp, resizing and quality loss

When you export from Inkscape the size in pixels is important. Don't worry about the dpi during the inkscape export.

A digital image only has a size in pixels. The dpi is just a dormant value stored inside the file. So for display on a computer screen etc it is the size in pixels that matters.

If you are going to print (eg on paper) the dpi comes into play. The dpi is used to calculate the print size in inches. In this case you can correct the inkscape dpi issue in Gimp. Open the png in Gimp. Go to Image > Print Size and set the dpi there. Note that the image size in pixels does not change when you do this.
