It's ofcourse better to have the implementation more flexible, but I'm
actually just searching for a double-line and hope to have something working
in a decent timeschedule. 

Plus it's a good way for me to get used to the dia codebase :) If I get used
to that, perhaps I can contribute (I didn't use dia before until now, but I
really think it's going to help me with my current studies -- give or take
a few features :)

It is on the "Standard - Line" that I want to achieve the double-line
feature. But even when I clear the line_draw() function from dia, the
"Standard - Line" still shows.

When I double-click on that line, I get the properties for it (and it sais
"Properties: Standard - Line") so I'm pretty sure I'm working with the
correct object :)
