Comment 1 Hans Breuer 2006-06-15 13:21:11 UTC

Works fine for me. Maybe you are using using a much older version of GTK than me.
Could you provide the output of 'dia --version --verbose'?

Thanks,
    Hans

Comment 4 Hans Breuer 2006-06-15 14:14:31 UTC

Looking at the Gtk+ API docs in fact reveals that the expand attribute
was not available in gtk+-2.6.x [1] but added later[2].

Could you test if you remove the expand="true" from the three .ui
files. I'd like to keep Dia working with Gtk+-2.6.x.

Thanks,
    Hans

Comment 5 tokul 2006-06-15 16:10:44 UTC

After expand="true" attribute is removed from display-ui.xml, popup-ui.xml and toolbox-ui.xml, dia starts on my system.

Comment 6 Hans Breuer 2006-06-25 16:45:16 UTC

Thanks for testing, now fixed.

	* data/ui/display-ui.xml data/ui/popup-ui.xml data/ui/toolbox-ui.xml :
	removed expand="yes" because otherwise the files can't be read with
	gtk+-2.6.x which follows Dia can't start. Fixes bug #344895
	* app/menus.c app/Makefile.am : also find the ui files when run from
	app/run_dia.sh
