Now that we're talking about the bottom of the display, do anybody have
strong feelings about the zoom combobox? It's not currently as functional
as it could be (Sodipodi gets it right), but it could also just be replaced
with a label. Or a button with a pop-up menu like the Zoom menu. It

I've read the Interface Hall of Shame, as pointed to by
Alan Horkan (http://www.iarchitect.com/shame.htm), and
this is one of the things you can learn on this big page.

Hello all
As a newcomer to UML / dia, I've got a couple of questions (to start
