Oh, so the leading semicolon is *not* part of the syntax (I thought gtk simply skips the semicolon token by looking at the gtk code, but I guess by token they mean the whole line). Thus my patch is unnecessary. This should be mentioned in Dia FAQ, and also items 9 and 10 (changing the accels in menu) don't work for me (neither Linux nor Windows). > BTW I think that a nicer workaround would be to have a working Delete > key for removing any objects unless some text is active.

I could make such patch, it is not so hard; though lots of objects have text in them, so most of the time you'd be using Ctrl+Del (since clicking an object with text gives focus to the text immediately) and Delete just a few times. Which is IMHO more confusing. O.
