xml-i18n and a new feature



hello,

this is my first posting to the list. i've been following it for a few
days, though, and been using dia on a daily basis during the last
month for UML modelling. one feature that i miss is a window
displaying a tree of currently open diagrams as nodes, with the
objects contained in the diagrams as their children, to ease
navigation and easy cut-and-paste of objects among open diagrams. i've
been having a look at the source files (which, by the way, are, imho,
very well written!)  and think it would not be very hard to implement
this tree thing (by adding a few hook functions to the Diagram
interface for creating/adding/removing diagrams (and Objects), for
instance). i've got some experience with gtk+, and i think i can code
it myself: would someone be interested? or is this a feature already
in the works? if not, any advise on how to do that, following the
current architecture?  should i modify the latest release source or
the CVS files?

on a related note, i've downloaded the CVS tree, and tried to compile
it in a Debian testing distro (with libtools upgraded to 1.4), but i
don't have xml-i18n-toolize. it seems that there was, not long ago, a
package in debian (xml-i18n-tools) containing it, but it has
disappeared from the testing and unstable distributions (or, at least,
i'm not able to find it!). any suggestion about where can i obtain it?

thank you very much for your help and, to the dia developers, for your
impressive job in this project.

best regards,

jao
