Well, LochDhu, just because it is non-polar does not make it a linear molecule. H-F is very polar, and can be thought of as linear. It really has more to do with how they are bonded than whether they are polar.

You shaped your CO2 molecules like H2O. CO2 is a non-polar molecule, therefore C and the 2 Os are in a straight line.
