I use source-navigator for C/C++, etc. (it handles other stuff, too).
You have to build it from source, but it's pretty nifty.  If you want to
use a GUI debugger with it, you also need to build and install insight,
too (based on gdb).

	SourceNavigator:	http://sourcenav.sourceforge.net
	Insight:		http://sourceware.cygnus.com/insight

Works for me!
