Thanks to Ken for pointing this app out to me! If you haven't already found this program, you should probably do yourself a favour and check it out. It has recently migrated to open source, so it deserves some attention.
http://www.xaraxtreme.org/ If you download the precompiled binaries, you should be good to go out of the gate with Dapper on i386 distros. It is a very good vector drawing tool. Unfortunately, as of now, it doesn't support native SVG exporting / importing, but it is headed that way. I believe you should still be able to accomplish this by exporting to a format that Inkscape can read, then import via Inkscape. Roundabout, but it will work until native SVG is supported when 1.0 is officially released. They are making _rapid_ development on it, and it is a very good program. Now for the sad news. Even though this application is open source, getting it to compile on your lovely amd64 machine won't happen because of a wxWidgets issue. To this end, I have (quickly) typed up a howto if you still want to work with this program: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/XaraLXHowTo_amd64
