Yeah, isn't it nice there always is room for improvments ;)

No, a lack of implementation in the integrated UI:

Dia as well as the rest of the GNOME repositries recently got moved to git.
The newest version of Dia is available at: http://git.gnome.org/cgit/dia/

Sorry, I don't understand. Are you proposing to change the button order?
Anyway, there was a request for suggestions some time ago:
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/dia-list/2009-April/msg00018.html

Unfortunately no one answered at that time, so I don't think there are any
improvements done (or will be available in time for 0.97).

No, but they (dia/Database.dll) appear to be missing in the installer.
Also the custom_lines and libart plug-ins are missing there.
