I have been using Dia for a week now,
and I strongly agree that it needs to 
somehow add freedraw polylines and
bezierlines.  

My off the cuff suggestion is that this
be allowed by holding the ctrl key while
placing the object.

That is, placing a polyline would work
differently depending on whether or not
the ctrl key was pressed during placement.
If ctrl is pressed, then mouse clicks
will add segments (at the point of click).

I have filed this as a bug report (93988).
