Will do.  Thanks.

I tried that.   dia doesn't have an export plugin to pdf format.  When I 
export to Encapsulated Postscript (.eps), it doesn't offer an option to size 
the output, so I end up with essentially the existing architecture.eps 
already in the repository, and when I resize that with ImageMagick, it gets 
fuzzy.  I also tried exporting to png, which does offer an output size, but 
after conversion to pdf I get a "page" with the image in the lower left 
corner.  I figured maybe I could size the figure in dia, then export, but I 
could not find any way to size the diagram in dia.  I also tried export to 
svg, but when I load the resulting file into karbon or konqueror, the fonts 
are just black squares.  I also tried to use scribus with no luck.  Sorry to 
be a pain. The image I committed isn't bad, but it can be better. :/  I'm 
hoping some good samaritan will take a shot at it.  There's gotta be a way.  
Afterall dia is a vector based image, so it should be possible to get a 
crystal-clear image.  Needs to be pdf of a image about 450x155 pixels if 
anyone wants to give it a go.
