The first place to look at should probably be:
http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/articles/why_care/
It even has two screen shots of dia dialogs to show bad UI design,
one of which I've modified before to increase useability :)
Cause the useability people choose to use Dia as an example
they would probably love to give more detailed hints how to
improve Dia's useability :-)
Though solving common toolkit problems - like tab ordering in
dialogs - or shortcut changes should probably be delayed
_after_ porting to Gtk+2.0 which will give us other useability
improvements, 'inverted' No and Yes ordering and the like
(almost) for free anyway ...
