Just a bug. IMHO it's not that fundamental for a GUI program to
not have these options but they may be handy sometimes. Best
if you could put a respective bug report in bugzilla.

Are you about to put an official testimonial on Dia ? Are you the
one to interpret what RMS has written ? Please keep in mind that 
Dia was quite useable _before_ it became a GNU program. And not 
anyone working on a program being under the GPL may agree on most
of the parts of the GNU Coding Standards. IMHO they are
a bit rusty if taken too serious ...

Or are you looking for another program for 
        'Testing & Project mis-Management'
Than _please_: look somewhere else.
