I've now added having a dialog with defaults pop up at double-click of a
tool widget, and changed the properties popup to be only one per
objecttype, not per object (saves not only the dialogs, but also 4 bytes
per object). This is only implemented for Line yet, as I want to hear if
the style is ok. It is trivial to add to the other objects
I've (as I said) added polyline, with an object menu to add and delete
points. It has a few bugs, like that corners stick out of the bounding box
and connections get confused when new handles are added[1]. Oh, and it
doesn't save properly yet.
Being the lazy bastard I am, I've just tar'ed it all up in
<URL:http://shasta.cs.uiuc.edu/~lrclause/Dia_lrclause.tar.gz> (also because
I don't have a proper copy to diff against).
Next thing I'd like to do is add arrows.

[1] About handles: The Object has an array of handles, but we can't depend
on the order they are in, so things like Zigzagline use a separate array
and copy back and forth. The only reason while we can't depend on the
order seems to be the way add_handle works. Wouldn't it save both time and
space to change add_handle to just insert the handle in a specific place
instead?
