Dia is decent enough. I have used it in the past.

Recently (through the results of postgresql_autodoc) I started using Graphviz which produces much beter results than what I can achieve with an UML-editor.  

Learn the dot-language (part of graphviz).  It is not that complicated.

**Dia**

Yes Dia seems promising (at first glance). But I have there some little but annoying troubles from the start.
For example, I can not resize elements at all, though they have proper markers.
Word wrapping in the graphical elements (for example in class nodes) doesn't work for me (or I am just too stupid to figure out how to turn it on), so boxes with long names looks pretty ugly in result.

**Graphviz**

Well, actually I've used graphviz and dot previously (though it's been a while). But before you've mentioned it I had no thought to do with it something UMLish.
Now I see that it is a really good idea. I should try it. Thanks!
