I don't really know, and I use Windows, but I have had unknown corruption
of the install where uninstalling and reinstalling has solved problems. You
may want to download a fresh distribution and delete what you currently
have.

Best of luck,

Mike

You get the window back through the XQuartz menu, not through OS X icons.
In other words, all X11 apps run inside the XQuartz container so to speak,
so even though the OS as such sees the process, then native OS X Windowing
system only knows about XQuartz.

1. Locate Dia.app (usually in /Applications)
2. Show contents (or use a terminal shell to cd to the directory in the
following step)
3. cd to Dia.app/Contents/Resources/bin
4. Edit the file dia
5. After line 39 add the line export DISPLAY=:0
6. Save the file and exit
7. Close XQuartz if it's running
8. Start DIA again and it should start, if not restart computer and should
work


If it doesn't work, please post the modified dia shell script here.


Best,
Alex

Also make sure you have the latest version from Sourceforge, not the older
binary that came directly from dia-installer. The new dia-installer page
should redirect to the SF download site. But you still need to edit the
file as described.
