The unintuitive part isn't having to select a connection shape and drag it onto
the canvas -- the world's most intuitive diagramming application, omnigraffle,
does exactly that: select a connection shape, drag it on the canvas, grab one
end, connect it, grab the other end, connect it.

The thing is: this system is designed for a situation where you have more than
connection shape. It looks weird because we currently have only one connection
shape instead of a rich set of connection shapes; but compared to having a
connection tool that allows you to connect two shapes & then select a
connection shape from something, it's much more usable. 

What's wrong in koffice (apart from not having enough connection shapes) is
that you need to double-click the shape so the path tool gets activated. Adding
a connection tool would just mean that you need to select that tool. I think
the default tool should allow the user to drag the endpoints to the right
place. Additionally, we need much richer feedback for connection hotspots.
