After a recent portupgrade (graphics/dia (dia-gnome-0.97.1_3,1 -> 
dia-0.97.2,1) dia is broken.  Will not start from the gnome menu, starting 
from the command line causes the splash screen to appear for about 1 
second and then it disappears.  There is no error produced on the command 
line, or in the system log.
