I just tried another thing:

1. Renamed "display.png" to "aaadisplay.png"
2. Ran Dia again.

At this point, I get the same error message but with "transaction.png" 
instead of "display.png" and reporting 47 more error messages instead of 
49.  Also the icon that the display would use is different, looks like a 
right triangle with a blue "C" over it.

I'm guessing that if Dia doesn't find a needed icon ".png" file that it 
might substitute some dummy icon.  So I believe this might show that 
indeed Dia is FINDING the .png icon file, but is unable to display it 
for some reason.  My guesses may be wrong, but I'm grasping at straws now.

NOW, I just got your reply and here is the info...

OK, found it, on my computer it is:

/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders

and executing it gives this screen and cache output:

"/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/libpixbufloader-png.so"
"png" 5 "gdk-pixbuf" "The PNG image format" "LGPL"
"image/png" ""
"png" ""
