What do gnome users draw with?

[Paul Johnson <pauljohn ku edu>]

I have an old copy of Corel draw. I liked that OK, but can't run it 
anymore. The Windows box died!

In Linux, I tried the program Sketch, which many people like, but can't 
find RPM packages for RH 7.2 that run (are consistent with python and 
python-imaging). ( I tried rebuilding their srpm, but it fails because 
it can't do what it wants to do without root access, and I don't want to 
encourage that behavior, so I threw it out ). I fished around the 
internet quite a bit and came up with several packages for Sketch, but I 
kept running into the problem that the Python library I have does not 
match up.  And I am afraid to swap out Python because a lot of 
gnome/ximian stuff depends on it.

I like Dia and can draw many "straight line" things with it, but can't 
get where I want when I want to draw wavy lines and other miscellaneous 
ovals/circles.

So, I'm open for suggestions.
