Did you consider using odg files instead of Dia fileformat? Using ODG means that 
loading is mostly done and you can integrate wonderfully in all KOffice 
applications since its the native fileformat for any shape.
Odg is essentially svg graphics with features like connectors. So svg images 
are completely compatible too.

Also, the ShapeSelector I wrote (its quite basic at the moment, its in 
plugins) could then be used to show all stencils since it can natively load 
Odg files already for the user to insert into the doc.
