I just opened a file I created yesterday, and tried the following to
delete a preexisting object:

control-d
delete
backspace

None of them worked.  The only thing that works is a cut (control-x).
That works up until I have an object on the clipboard that I don't
want to overwrite by deleting something.  In the worst case I'll have
to paste the object from the clipboard, cut the object I want deleted,
then cut the temporary object again.

I didn't understand your workaround there, but I'll probably just use
two layers.  A background layer for the labels, and the whole network
in the top layer, since it's all connected.

0.92.2

I'm using Red Hat 9.0, which is comes with Dia 0.90.  I upgraded Dia
because it seemed a lot of progress is being made from version to
version.  I now get this warning when I run dia, and I'm not sure how
it affects me:

Warning: program compiled against libxml 206 using older 205
