I'd like to make two comments about properties editing in dia-0.91: 1. Does it make sense to provide to users the ability to specify, when editing the properties of a group of objects, whether they want the intersection of the sets of properties (properties common to all objects in the group, which is the current behaviour of dia), or the union of all properties? I think the latter sometimes is also useful.
2. When changing properties while several objects are selected (but not grouped), the changes only apply to the first object. Isn't it more reasonable to apply changes to all objects selected? This way people won't need to group a set of objects only for changing some common properties of them.
