Dia Issue

[gareth foster <earthwormgaz 666 btinternet com>]

Ok, here is the problem, Dia looks very nice, but the RPM provided by
DAG (a major provider of RPMs for Redhat systems) is not behaving
correctly. He is aware of the problem, and does not know why it exists.

You can see the text of the (short) discussion we had which explains the
problem.

If one of the developers could help DAG to build a working RPM that
would be fantastic.

thank you.

Yes, I have the same problem. It is described in the FAQ but I don't 
understand what is said there as I'm doing the normal build procedure.

I didn't have the time to confront the developers with this, but if you 
could that would be nice. Otherwise I'll see if I have the time in the 
weekend to get to the bottom of this. It seemed as if there was
something 
wrong with my system.

Thanks for the feedback,
