Remember, the uses of a Raster (Bitmap) Graphics program like Photoshop,
GIMP, etc... are _different_ than a Vector Graphics program like
Illustrator, Sodipodi, Inkscape, etc...

Diagramming programs like Visio, Kivio, Dia, etc... are a variant of the
Vector Graphics program, so GIMP would _not_ be appropriate.

Some Vector Graphics programs like OOo/SO Draw, etc... aren't exactly
Diagramming, but they do include some art and "connect/maintain the
connectors" type functionality.

Freshmeat Topics:  
  Multimedia -> Graphics -> Editors -> Raster-Based (49)
    http://freshmeat.net/browse/108/  
  Multimedia -> Grahpics -> Editors -> Vector-Based (69) 
    http://freshmeat.net/browse/107/  

69 different programs _should_ give you a good base of trials.  ;->
