Some feedback ...

I have 0.96.1-9 and have recently finished a diagram started with 
0.96.1-8 on Windows XP SP3.

On installing .97 I left the checkbox selected to start Dia and it 
started up OK but the canvas was docked into the tool palette.

I opened the diagram mentioned above and saw all the text was magenta 
(or pink). I didn't panic even though I couldn't change the colour.

On closing down and restarting, it opened in two windows like 0.96 and 
the abovementioned diagram was fine.

Some more feedback ...

I reckon Dia is fabulous.

Thank you to all contributors
