newbie questions



Greetings,

I have a few newbie questions if anyone has the time.  

I have just installed dia on my FreeBSD box and everything appears to be
ok.  


1.  When I add new image, and double click it to define an image file to
use, the dialog presented to select an image, keeps dumping me into my
home dir.  I must manually go to /usr/X11R6/share/gnome/dia/shapes to be
able to select an image.  Any way to get the dialog to remember that
location?  Any other way to add an image?   

1.1  What is the difference between a .shape and a .png?  If I select
any .shape I receive a broken image message. 

1.2  Any images for vendor specific hardware?  I see a cisco directory,
but the images in there are not very life like.  Any images for vixel,
network applicance, sun etc, etc.  

2.  Help does want not work.  I get the following error: 

(dia:43522): Gnome-WARNING **:
gnome-program.c:986:gnome_program_locate_file(): Directory properties
not set correctly.  Cannot locate application specific files.

Looking at gnome-program.c it appears that this is the result of a
directory returning NULL.  Anybody know what dir, or can you point me in
the right direction before I go digging into source too far?

>From gnome-program.c

/* use the prefix */
    if (dir == NULL) {
        g_warning (G_STRLOC ": Directory properties not set correctly. "
               "Cannot locate application specific files.");
        return NULL;
    }



Thank you very much for your time.

Andrew
