It's surprising. Just noticed it switching from 0.93 to the new
prerelease.

Consider: Other programs (GIMP) don't do it. I don't know if we should
really try to predict what users want. Do you think a user starting dia
wants to create a new diagram in most cases?

Personally, I'm going to open existing diagrams after starting dia. What
about you?

When with "new document" you mean "old document", and with "first
document" you mean "new document", I understand. :-)

Good idea. Currently, the empty document stays even if I just want to
edit my other, already existing document.
