You might want to look at ArgoUML [1] which is Java-based and fairly
well documented.  I have also played around with Umbrello [2], but
it's pretty entrenched in KDE so it would be a severe PITA on Windows.

Jeffrey C. Ollie mentioned Inkscape, which I really really like as a
vector drawing program.  However, unless there's some mode or plugin I
don't know about, it's kind of the wrong level of abstraction.  Your
primitives are comparably low-level bezier curves and such, not true
flowchart primitives.
