As said before, a quick and simple solution is to use custom shape. New diagram type written in C is another option. Reading the code of UML diagrams seems to me a good start, http://git.gnome.org/browse/dia/tree/objects/UML/class.c is quite complete :) Take in account that "building Dia plug-ins outside of the tree is not supported." (See http://mail.gnome.org/archives/dia-list/2011-September/msg00035.html) Custom shape should be sufficient if you don't need to customize the properties dialog. You could create a specific dialog with pygtk but it will not be well integrated (see group_props.py). Depending on your needs, maybe another completely different solution is best suited to solve your problem, for example using http://wiki.eclipse.org/GEF_Description (interesting example here: http://www.vainolo.com/tutorials/).
