But what dia really needs is to leave the old multiwindows (gimp like)

A single-window interface is part of the next release. As for making it
embeddable, is there any up-to-date way to do that in Gnome?
What? Seriously, a single-window interface? No, please. The
multi-window way is really convenient ... you can think of each window
as a different "plate" or "easel" and the main object palette as just
that ... a palette. Changing diagrams is just simply "alt-tab" handled
by the window manager, instead of some internal Dia shortcut!
It is convenient until you have 3 other windows and 3 diagrams opened
and switch between them and wan to select shapes in the mean time...
Plus there are standard shortcuts for switching inner windows - CTRL+TAB
/ CTRL+SHIFT+TAB.

Nux.
