Don't worry about Makefile.am, we can fix this. Once test.shape and
test.png are ready,
you can try Dia's Sheet and Objects Manager. It allows you to create a
new sheet with
a simple button click. It also allows you to add your new test.shape
to the sheet.
The Sheet and Object Manager seems to be a bit buggy, but even if it
crashes, the next
time you start Dia, you should have the desired results.

Again, don't worry about Lights.sheet.in. We can build this easily if
you submit a
*.sheet file. On request though, when you name your shapes: Please use
English names.

Try to use the Beziergon object and take the time to learn how to add
segments and how
to deal with the handles. A beziergon can easily be used to make
something like the AND
gate.

Thanks for noticing it. The other option is to have all the languages
in one line.
Fixed in SVN.
