Check out dia or kivio. Also, I like xfig, and it becomes slightly
more usable if you add the xfig-libs package, which gives you some
more images to use. However, xfig is not exactly user friendly
compared to the first two, so I would only recommend it if you feel up
to the learning curve (also, off the top of my head, I'm not sure if
it has in the image libraries the above mentioned diagrams).

Out of dia and kivio, I think kivio has the better interface.
