You might consider using RFFlow from RFF Electronics: (http://www.rff.com/)

(careful: http://rfelectronics.com/ is a ham-radio site)

Though it is compiled for MS Windows, it runs under WINE perfectly fine.
I like for its richness of features, and many of the built-in tools.  I
use it for all my "Visio" stuff, like electronic schematics and URL-based
programming diagrams, and AutoCAD stuff like layered drawings and
dimensional view-perspective diagrams.

I have been a user of this since before Visio was ever concepted -- back
when this author programmed it in Turbo Pascal for Win-2x.  (It is now in
C++).  Any user questions, just ask me.
