Yes: from your description I understand that after your students failed
to understand Dia, and you gave them a description of the basics or the
program they succeeded.

I wonder if the explanation given to them was verbal or written. If
verbal, I imagined, maybe some students may have reacted at the exact
moment during your explanation when they finally understand what they
were doing wrong. Or maybe they have expressed it in some other way.

In any case, this could mean you may have some specific UI aspects that
confuse or that are counter-intuituve for Dia newbies.

This could be great feedback on usability for the project, either to
improve documentation or to improve the interface itself.
