But the shortcuts *are* still editable as said in the older thread [1]. 
Just the format of $(HOME)/.dia/menurc changed

Just tested it with mapping "View/Show Grid" mapped to 'Windows'-g. For 
0.96 and above it is:

(gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/display-actions/ViewShowgrid" "<Super>g")

and for 0.95 it is:

(gtk_accel_path "<Display>/View/Show Grid" "<Super>g")


The only thing I noticed not working is redefining to one of the already 
used (by windows) keys, e.g.

(gtk_accel_path "<Display>/View/Show Grid" "<Super>e")

will still open the explorer and is not available for switching the grid or 
other actions.
