If anybody sits there wanting to do something, but not sure where to start,
a good way to find bugs and missing features of Dia is to try to recreate
other diagrams.  The example diagrams from Inspiration are useful for that
(<URL:http://www.inspiration.com/diagrams/>).  A few things I found that
way:

  Having the image create tool pop up a file requester if no default
    picture is set (though I don't see a nice way to do that with the
    current modularization).
  The 'Align/Equal Distance' moves the objects a little up/left.
  The 'Align/Equal Distance' reorders the objects.
  An 'Align/Consecutive' (or something) to align the objects next to each
    other would be useful.

Hopefully I can hack a bit when my qual tomorrow is over.

BTW, I like the new arrow selection widgets.  Cleaned a lot out of the
settings from the other boxes.
