If you meant 'with a user interface' you are right. But the pixbuf
(i.e. the other png filter) does use the paper scaling to control
the bitmap size. Looking at the source shows :

  /* quite arbitrary */
  zoom = 20.0 * data->paper.scaling; 
  width = (rect.right - rect.left) * zoom;
  height = (rect.bottom - rect.top) * zoom;

So after all it should be possible to get a PNG with the 
resolution/size you want - even without constantly being 
annoyed by an extra size-adjustment-dialog ;-)
