Did you try one of the 0.92 prereleases?  They would put new things into
your ~/.dia/diarc which the older version don't understand.  We ought to
switch the prefs to XML, to avoid this kind of problem.

You've probably upgraded to Pango 1.2.4 or higher, which triggers this bug
in Dia.  It's fixed in the 0.92 prereleases.
