The problem is that he is using a copy of dia compiled with gnome-print
support, which is currently incomplete. The one thing it is missing is
support for elliptic arcs (as gnome-print doesn't provide an API for
drawing elliptic arcs).
I suppose we should add support for them. The two options are to draw
them as a polyline (how many segments??) or approximate them with beziers
(how many segments? does anyone know the best way to place the control
points?)
