You may want to check out InkScape or Dia.  Both of these tools are available through Yum and below are the project websites.

Subject: Flowchart-ish tool

I am trying to create a visual aid for some complex relationships (not software,
sorry). It would seem that some flowchart, or similar software, might assist. I
need to show the relationships between items and groups of items, and I really
don't want to do it by hand.

Ideally I would identify a group of items as a group, so they could be place
near one another or marked with the same color, or similar. Then I want to
describe the relationship between them, (ex: 'depends on', or 'funds') and the
relationship might look different from each end. Simple example A and B, from A
B has relation 'child' while from B A has relation 'parent'. That term
'properties' seems to be used in some things I found, but I haven't gotten a
solution.

Does this ring a bell with anyone? Or even suggest a good manual tool, neither
xfig nor gimp is ideal.
