Look to the TWiki (http://faemalia.org/wiki/view/Technical/DiaEditor),
and feel free to add more stuff.  lib/object.h is heavily commented,
too.  It also helps to just look at the other objects that have similar
behaviour.  There was somebody trying to expand the PROP_LIST to handle
the UML Class-like things, which it looks like you'll need, but I
haven't heard a peep from him for a long time.  And, of course, we here
shall be happy to answer questions, too.
