Here's a status report. I downloaded, installed, and tested nearly every tool suggested. The one that suits me best is still "Screem":

http://www.screem.org/

There's no WYSISYG design surface in Screem, but you can view your work in Firefox with a single click. I think I can get used to beginning an HTML page in a source code editor. I should admit that I'm more accustomed to starting a new page in Dreamweaver's design surface, although I normally end-up spending most of my time in the source editor. Screem suplements the source editor with code-assist, code-complete, and Wizards which are helpful to those who haven't memorized HTML and CSS tags, attributes, events, color options, etc.

Eclipse J2EE and Zend Code Studio were the biggest downloads. And they seem to run fine under Ubuntu. And they offer comprehensive IDE's. But their code editors were so, so.
