As tried to make obvious by my mail it is a GTK issue. IIRC Dia 0.89
shouldn't have this problem anymore (if used with the gtk+ libs
from my site http://hans.breuer.org/dia/dia-0.89.htm )
But beware other problems (like crashing when exporting to PNG) in
this preview release ...

If you installed Dia with the setup program there may as well be issues
which I don't know of ...
