Before you all go off reinventing the wheel, have a look at GYVE:

http://bandits.aist-nara.ac.jp/~masata-y/gyve/

It's a drawing program based on GTK+ and DPS. It's not too far along, and
its currently not written with the GNOME libs, but I think it would make a
good candidate for GNOMEification, especially since it's being designed as
a companion to GIMP.
