Not sure which engine you are talking about, but maybe it's

But you can influence the resolution of the bitmap already with the 
currently released version. It is calculated by librsvg from the
width and height given in the main svg tag.

Should work as well - except if your svg is too complicate for Dia to 
render. The subset of SVG supported by Dia directly (for shapes and import) 
is comparatively small to the subset supported by librsvg.

This is in part due to SVG's complexity, but also there are a lot of things 
representable in SVG but not with current Dia's rendering model like 
gradients, transformations, filters, ... see e.g.
