I had to draw a map for someone and required to use the straight line tool. I found to my dismay that GIMP (2.6.8) does not have a straight line drawing tool. How can the developers forget such a basic thing? I had to download tuxpaint for the job and it did just that.
Not directly answering your question, but I prefer OpenOffice Impress or Draw to draw vector diagrams. Impress, specially, works great with shapes, lines and arrows.
