I'll probably regret saying this, but I think Dia really should be 
looking to leverage Inkscape.  The Dia canvas has always been buggy and 
in general a bit awkward whenever I've tried to use Dia.  Given the 
progress being made with Inkscape, it would be a very solid 'backend' 
for Dia (which is essentially just adding rules to shape manipulation 
and the conversions to-from .dia files).  Am I way off of reality here?

(To come back to a previous point when we talk about GO technologies, 
Inkscape has the potential to be a key GO technology itself!)
