Hi.  I've used:

Vym
http://www.insilmaril.de/vym/

Kdissert
http://freehackers.org/~tnagy/kdissert.html

and
Freemind
http://freehackers.org/~tnagy/kdissert.html

There's some other apps that look interesting, but these three seem to
be the major ones.  I've heard OO.org being recommended, too, but this
slows down the process.  I didn't rate Vym.  Kdissert I preferred out of
all of them, but I can't justify installing the KDE libraries for one or
two applications.  Freemind, I'm waiting for version 0.9.0, which will
hopefully work with java 6.

There is a GNOME app: Labyrinth, I think, but, IIRC, it's in a very
early stage of development.
