I don't know if it will ever be possible to do proper SVG import in dia.
The SVG spec is quite expressive, so it would be difficult to get an
import filter that would work on all SVG files.
Also, most dia diagrams are at a slightly higher level. The SVG export
filter looses a lot of information in the conversion (that is, semantic
information -- not rendering info).
There are a few other apps being developed that aim at being SVG editors
(it sounds like you are looking for a program more like corel draw).
There is gill (currently only available from the GNOME CVS tree), and one
called sodi podi (I think that is the name).
James.
