        * app/Makefile.am (dia_LDADD): remove GDK_IMLIB_LIBS reference.

        * app/commands.c (help_about_callback): remove imlib code.

2001-09-14  Hans Breuer  <hans breuer org>

        * lib/dia_xml.c : reduce complaing about missing encoding, by

Or at least take a look at (Gnome1/2 comparsion):
