I don't get it. To quote the woodcutter in Rashomon: "I just don't understand."

IF this whole issue is not about monitor resolutions (which, by the OOo default
value of 96 PPI is way above most users monitors), and not about professional
printing (max 300 PPI) then what it is about?

I proposed a simple and comprehensive and correct solution. Now, I would like to
add some further comments on this, but first I will start with a motto:
  Langsam's ornithological axiom:
  It's hard to soar with the Eagles when you work with Turkeys.

Before we discuss anything further, I invite you to watch a tutorial for 
Adobe Illustrator CS3:

Now, if OOo Draw wants to become competitive, it should compare itself 
with the de facto standards. For vector graphics, these are Adobe 
Illustrator and CorelDraw. [I appologise to Corel users because I stick to Adobe
products, but - although I did have a valid, licensed Corel version in 1995, it
never caught me up.]
