Description Christopher Yeleighton 2013-01-05 15:59:12 UTC 
It seems to me that Karbon is designed to handle primarily page description documents, hence the page size is set in the Page Layout dialogue box.  When applied to SVG, however, this looks weird, as SVG images appear in all possible sizes and ratios in the wild (and they may contain interactive content which is not designed for printing at all).
Anyway, I was told that you can use the Page Layout dialogue box to set the preferred size of an SVG image.  So far, so good.  However, since this particular image is a user interface element, its dimensions should be expressed in pixels; but Karbon’s page size is hardwired to millimeters.  

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
  1. Tell Karbon to use pixels for measurement.
  2. Tell Karbon to use points for measurement.
  3. Tell Karbon to set page size.
Actual Results:  
  1. Oops, no way.
  3. Page size is in millimeters.

Expected Results:  
  3. Page size in points.
