Ok, well if that is the point - i include my pictures, the created png file and 
the shape file
in on folder at my dia directory. The sizing of my images is no problem this 
works fine.

Is there a feature request email address for future versions of dia?
I also would like to include a signature of username, sourcefilename and date 
as a footer in
my diagram. Like in visio :)
Also the embedding images feature would be great for sharing diagram created
by dia.

Sorry no deeper knowledge available :(
