The same 'mintest' file from the previous thread gives the results I am
seeing. Here it is repeated...

\begin{pspicture}(4,1)
\scalebox{4 1}{Test}

>it is a problem of DIA and should be solved by DIA

Yeah, I asked this question first on the DIA mailing list, but the reply
(which I can totally understand) is that they are not expert at pstricks.
It seems as though DIA is always in need of more expert developers (not
because it is a bad product! - Quite the opposite :)

Cheers,
Dan.
