Hubert, I have found an unusual bug that seems to be related to your menu bar. When the menu bar is first enabled in the preferences dialog, ^D for delete stops working. Once you exit and restart Dia, ^D works properly. When I first tried the menu bar, I was so frustrated by this, that I disabled it. So I never discovered that it eventually went away until recently, by accident. Most people probably didn't give up so easily, which would explain why more of them didn't complain (I reported it to the mailing list when I discovered it; I can't rememver if I put it in Bugzilla). This bug may seem innocuous, because it goes away. But, like me, users may be frustrated by it. And it is, after all, a bug.
I also have not found how to access the menu from the keyboard. I've tried alt+key, Esc, and F10. Could accelerator keys be added for this? Preferably alt+key like most applications. If not, the underlined letters in the menu items should be removed. I'm glad you added the menu bar, since I find it more natural and efficient (when keyboard access works) than the right-click menu (which should activate a context menu). But it still needs a little bit of polish.
