It's perfectly fine to ask though the answer sometimes takes quite
some time and it may be not that helpful ...

That sounds like quite an unusal setup. I think there are not many runing
Dia on winXP and even less over terminal services. Could you simplify
your configuraton a little to check if the problem persists than ?

One thing I could imagine is your server is running a low color mode
256 colors? OTOH this may be total nonsense - I simply don't know if 
terminal services are in any aspect similar to XWindows ...

The first two messages are quite common if you close a diagram, but
I never have seen the third message.

Is Dia's misbehaviour in any way related to what you are doing or
does it just happen right from the beginning ?
