It might be that it's using the size from one of the images you pasted. Always work at either the final resolution or (much better if your computer is up to at) twice that resolution. So if you want to end up with 600dpi, ideally you'd work at 1200dpi in GIMP and resize as the very last step, *after* saving as xcf.gz. The reason for going double is that processing images tends to reduce quality (it's like food!). The reason for starting at the target resolution or higher is that image software can't invent extra detail for higher resolution. If you have performance problems, save your work often as .xcf or .xcf.gz (same but smaller files). When it comes to printing, depending on the platform, File->Page Setup may or may not make a difference.
