Thanks, it has been applied.

I strongly suggest that for the standard properties (line width, color,
font size...) you leave the selection up to the user if there is no
semantic meaning for the property.  I notice the KAOS goal/requirement has
a semantic meaning for line width, but its font size, font type, font
color, line color and background color should all be changeable.  It
allows the user to use cues for grouping.

Be careful about relying on UML, esp. the Class object, it's broken in
many ways.  The flowcharts obejcts are fine, AFAIR.

Looks good.  You may want to use -bB to have it ignore changes in
whitespace, though that wasn't a problem in this one.
