Unfortunately, I can't reproduce this bug (and don't have MacOSX,
either). But before forwarding it to upstream, I would like to clarify
the issue a bit:

* Which exact version of dia are you working with?
* Debian stable / unstable?
* From the original subject line, I guess that you are trying to call
dia on a Debian system, displaying it on a MacOSX X server?
* Does dia work for you on MacOSX? (Natively?)
* Possibly other things you included in the original bug report.

(BTW: I tried dia running on a Debian i386, displayed on a Debian sparc
X server, and that worked fine (for testing cross-architecture).
Unfortunately, I don't have powerpc.)

Thanks!

bye,
