A question: when one exports a diagram to get a shape. the dialog for .png 
offers 22 for at least one of the sizes, many times it is the height, but
some other times it is the width. Wouldn't be better to accept what dia offers 
in order to get same aspect?.

Another question: Would it be convenient to explain how to change the .shape
file to get: fewer connection poins;  a "main" connection point;  a textbox,etc ?
