Okay. (It is what's displayed in the titlebar, maybe it's better to
change to something like 'Dia - Toolbox')

I have looked at bugzilla.gnome.org without finding a report on this
bug. Since it did not exist in version 0.92.2, it was probably
newly introduced in 0.93 (the bug is reproducible on my system with
both versions 0.93-pre1 and 0.93-pre2, but not with 0.92.2).

I have not filed a formal bug report because I thought it a short-term
one, i.e., it should not be difficult to fix it (though I don't know how)
and it's better to have it fixed before the final version (0.93) comes out.
Do you really think that I should file a bug report for it?

Sincerely,
Lin-bo Zhang
