No comment means bugfix confirmed, right?

The effect of the issue is cross platform AFAICT. But it's only a build 
problem, not runtime.

Intentionally. The last ressort file importer is Dia's own format, but we 
do not want to advertize this ;)

I've reopened the issue with some more information. On the other computer I 
even have implemented a fix.

Shoud have changed the title to " Commandline export not working for pixbuf 
(with X11 terminal)" because that's the improvement made. From the commit 
message of 
https://git.gnome.org/browse/dia/commit/?id=c3dcf1eec1b4ef57c45c58410048b77c83ea50dd

The pixbuf export requires a diaplay. Use gtk_init_check() to allow command 
line export from an X terminal without sacrificing the command line mode 
without X11.

Do you say it does not work in that margin for you?

E.g. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=683700 should be 
reproduceable on Linux as well. The OS field is initialized by the reporter 
(or machine setting). Often I'm setting it during analysis to All if the 
bug is cross platform.
But even if the bug is reproduceable only on one platform the fix for it 
could potentially introcude cross platform bugs;)
