I'm not sure if this is it.  A problem with monitor dpi would cause the
plot to be scaled incorrectly on the screen, not on paper --- Guppi
stores all dimensions internally as "real units", not pixels, and
printing is always 300dpi in PS, and hence in gnome-print.

Maybe gtkhtml is handing guppi a funky print context?  (i.e. one in which
gtkhtml has applied some strange coordinate transforms.)
