The patch worked OK (I'm a bit new to this patch thing, but that's what man
is for :-) but there's now another problem (with the new patched dia),
possibly related:
Create new diagram, place a custom shape (e.g. resistor from Circuit sheet),
select modify tool. Copy. Dia segfaults, and gdb gives:

Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.
#0  text_get_attributes (text=0x0, attr=0x81cd854) at text.c:939
939	  attr->font = text->font;

This doesn't happen if the object has text associated with it, e.g. Computer
from the Network sheet.

Hope this helps.

Rob.
