I just fired up Eclipse with CDT and refactored ListKey to Fred. There 
were lots of warnings,
but it look like it worked correctly and completely.

Looks like it at least has rename refactoring for class, method, fields 
and arguments.

There may be shortcomings as the CDT website says that it does not have 
refactoring.

As far as navigation goes, it has (Ctrl-)F3 to go to the declaration or 
definition of a method.
But not much more than that.

It looks a bit crude (in comparison to the JDT).

Integration with Subversion (via subclipse) looks complete.
