hmmm, running autogen.sh I get the following errors:
I am going to run ./configure with no arguments - if you wish
to pass any to it, please specify them on the ./autogen.sh command line.
Running gettextize... Ignore non-fatal messages.
./autogen.sh: gettextize: command not found

ahhh, the joy of macros...(I suspect a couple of problems could be
resolved downloading appropriate packages like gettext, gdk-imlib etc., right ?)
wouldn't it make sense to release a new version (say, dia-0.40) ?
It seems that you added a couple of nice things (new UML objects, image abstraction,
UI features etc.) which make this step worth while !
