It would be nice but the code which does associations is quite messy for
the good reason that it's difficult to do.  Lines that stay at 90 degree
angles would be neater but are unlikely to happen any time soon in
Umbrello 1 I'm afraid.  Anti-alias lines would be a good alternative but
there's no easy way to do that either.
