custom shapes and lines

[Allan Eising <allan eising+gmane gmail com>]

Hi there,

I apologize if this question has already been raised here, but my google-
fu did not return any valid results.

I'm trying to build some custom shapes using dia, and I build the shapes 
within dia, save them as .shape and import them into my sheets.

When I include my newly defined shape, some how dia overrides the borders 
of each and every rectangle within the shape, making them follow the 
properties of the object itself. This adds an ugly black border even to 
places where no border should be.

I'm using the Dia version 0.97 bundled by Ubuntu 9.10.

Is there any way I can work around this?

Regards,

Allan
