I have changed this in CVS
to comply with the Gnome HIG and generally just SANITY Ctrl A is now bound
to "Select All"

I have also had problems that user set keybindings have failed to work and
instead the hard wired keybinding activates.  Dia still displays the new
keybinding i set but ignores it.
This annoys me every time i hit Ctrl+W to close a window and instead Save
As Dialog pop's up.

I have also changed this in CVS.

There are a few more keybindings i really should fix and add replacements
for the one i have removed.
I have actually changed my mind about using Ctrl+Shift+G instead of Ctrl+U
for ungroup, and i will have to revert it.  If at some point in the
future we have run
out of keybindings i will consider again using Ctrl+Shift+G which is more
in line with the Gnome HIG.
