It would be really great if this effort could bring Umbrello up to the level of Dia, so that serious users could finally switch over to Umbrello. Dia has some basic functionality concerning layout and scaling that Umbrello still misses, see
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94081

"Dia has solved the scaling problem and it works great. This is a necessary functionality, which means I will use Dia because of this regardless how many other features Umbrello has. Please look how Dia does it. I will explain it short:
1. The diagram can be expanded in any direction. In Umbrello it seems like it can only be expanded right and down.
2. The user selects the paper orientation and the number of pages horizontally and vertically. (Right click on the diagram, select File, Page setup..., Scaling, Fit to <x> by <y>.)
3. Dia scales the diagram to fit on the specified paper layout. The page boundaries are shown as coloured lines."
