Have you tried Sodipodi?

 

It is a GTK-based Vector Drawing program.

Mdk 9 & RH 8 RPMs are available. Give it a try, it's very fun to play with it. With Geramik theme I think it just looks pretty, personally :) .

 

Here's a sodipodi screenshot I captured:

What do you think of it?

Now that the rumor of Microsoft acquiring Macromedia has surfaced, I think it's a good time to have a look at SVG - the vector drawing/animation (XML-document) format supported by Sodiopodi:

SVG format related info:

2.SWF Is Not Flash (and Other Vectored Thoughts)

3.Mozilla SVG Project

5.Comparing .SWF (Shockwave Flash) and .SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) file format

Currently, I believe sodipodi does not support (vector) animation authoring yet but the future looks bright for SVG. This can provide us another choice of content format in case MS really buy out Macromedia :!: .

sodipodi 0.30 is released, this time the release is mostly for bug-fixing.

 

Sodipodi is a vector graphics program similar to Corel Draw or Adobe Illustrator. It's still in its infancy stage yet but very usable and displays well on screen.

 

My observations: Nice display, No fit text to curve function, wierd menu system, no preset color palette, not many other software support SVG format, cryptic PRINT command (version 0.30), does not support truetype fonts, limited export filters (PNG only).
