Firstly, I did not suggest that it should be remove. Only that there should be the option to suppress this behavior if so desired.

No. I usually launch dia from the enlightenment menu and then click File->Open and select the file(s) I wish to edit. The new behavior causes there to be two windows open. The one that I want to edit, and a new, blank, diagram which I may not have wanted. I imagine that anyone using a gnome panel icon or desktop icon would experience much the same? Unless they are in the habit of using an FM to drag-and-drop files. I do not think that this feature is necessarily bad. I just think that it should be an optional behavior.
