ImageMagick will let you store pixels-per-inch information in the metadata
of an image (-density {width}x{height}), but I've found that Scribus
(scribus-1.3.9-1.fc13.i686) ignores it and assumes 72x72.  Fortunately,
having Scribus shrink the rather large imported image down to my intended
size did raise the resolution.
