I have been running app/run_dia.sh.  I've also tried to install it and
that didn't work either.  It almost seems like dia is loading the object
libraries, but not making them available for use.  I say this because
when I go to the plugins menu, it shows them all as being loaded.  On
start up I get the following messages:

Gtk-WARNING **: invalid cast from (NULL) pointer to `GtkMenuItem'

Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkmenuitem.c: line 310 (gtk_menu_item_activate):
assertion `menu_item != NULL' failed.

Is this normal or could this be a symtom of the problem?

Okay, that worked. =)
