Dear Maintainer,


Dia initializes with rulers turned ON.  There is no way to set "rulers=OFF" as a default.
With rulers ON the cursor flickers and sometimes dissapears.  This makes it difficult
to place the cursor action at a specific point on the screen.
It is possible to manually turn rulers OFF for each new drawing, but not to make rulers
OFF a default for new drawings.
Turning rulers OFF does make the cursor visible and stops the flicker.

While making it possible to turn rulers OFF as a default would help, it would just hide
the symptom and not fix the problem.  Actual problem is the flickering cursor that
happens when rulers are ON.

Hi, dia does not flicker for me and never did, IIRC.
