I use Ctrl+A for "View/Show All" all the time.  Many graphics applications use the 
same short cut, regardless of what the Gnome or Windows interface guidelines say.  
"Select All" is an uncommon operation in Dia and similar applications.  I think this 
is a case of "rules are made to be broken."

If you do take Ctrl+A away, you'd better given me an equally efficient and logical 
short cut for "View All".
