I've finally got the text bit right, and being able to include my shapes
into any shape sheet. I've attached two shapes - a laptop and a scanner
(with icons) - which as far as I can see, haven't been done yet. The
labels will probably have to changed to include them in other sheets -
whatever.
It is great that other libraries of shapes are being created, but I would
really like to see them come together in the next release of DIA. That
way, when users install DIA, they won't have to go searching for other
shapes, or perhaps create shapes that already exist. Therefore, I agree
with the idea that the DIA site should have a section for people to submit
shapes to - keep eveything fairly central.

I'm interested in including your shapes in the NetExtra shape
package. Please send me what you have made, maybe i can figure out
what goes wrong.
