Dia is great. It is the first vector drawing package I have ever liked.
As well as its target function of diagrams it has great promise for 
presentations - say like P#werp#int from M$. To do this it would need a couple 
of extensions.

1) Multiple page documents. Eiher a new file type that wraps a bunch of dia
file names, or an extension to the XML tags to support multiple pages.

2) Printing support for multiple pages. 

3) Eventually, a thumbnail viewer - navigator.

4) Even further in the future, a slide show mode.

The only graphical element that I would use beyond those provided would be
a gradient fill object; this could be just a rectangle. This would allow
nice page backgrounds, washes behind titles, and all that sort of thing.

Thank you for a lovely application, these are just some ideas I had.
