Sorry I wasn't clearer but I suggested it and if it turns out to be a bad
idea I dont want to clutter things up wiht useless options and I am
keeping an open mind to removing it if necessary.

I was thinking that at that perhaps the diagram should possibly open in
the already open unused window at this point.  I think that could meet
both our requirements without needing to add more options.  (This might
have been mentioned at the time the idea was first discussed, I'd have to
look it up to be sure though).

underwhelmed by Visio which aside from the price is better than Dia in
quite a few ways but) Thanks for using Dia
