Hello. The first problem you report, regarding dia looking for files under /usr/local/share/dia is very strange. I don't see that behaviour, the dia ebuild installs its files under /usr/share/dia. Did you compile/install dia yourself from the sources? As for the second problem, dia trying to use netscape for the help files, apparently the dia ebuild installs the help files under /usr/share/gnome/help/dia, and the binary is looking for /usr/share/dia/help. Plus, having netscape as the help browser is certainly not a good idea. I can patch those two issues, but I'm concerned that you report having the help files under /usr/share/dia/help/en/dia.xml. Again, are you sure you weren't using a dia binary that you built yourself?
dia-0.94-r1 includes a patch that fixes the Help->Manual action, at least under gnome. The other problems you report are still unreproducible. Please let us know if you have more information regarding these issues.
Verified, the /usr/local stuff was some problem with me tryin to fix the help problem and spoiling it, or some other kind of glitch. the binary I keep does not have any "/usr/local" file. -r1 works great, with manual and all. Thanks. :-)
