Inkscape uses 90 dpi internally (hard-coded, based on the initial recommendation in SVG 1.1). Corel Draw seems to assume a different resolution (96dpi?) - Scribus OTOH imports SVG based on 72 dpi. Basically this touches a general deficiency in the current SVG specification that it doesn't easily allow to specify absolute units (as page size or for object dimensions) that have to be rendered with equal absolute length in different SVG renderers.
