Isn't that krayon, now?

Yeah, but you have to know how to do it.  Since I don't know how I'd
rather use xpaint :(

Other vector graphics programs: I've had good experiences with sketch.
Old unix hackers will encourage you to use xfig, I recommend tgif
instead.  Xfig has got to have the worst interface ever.  tgif's is
almost as bad, but it is much more powerful.
