Sorry I'm late to the party on this thread! I somehow missed it until now. Just to help Caroline out, that was meant to be 'Inkscape'. It would help us to help you, Caroline, if you were more specific about exactly what type of graphics program (s)he was after. Is it for photo editing, animation, 3D rendering, etc. Good suggestions for most of these have been posted to the thread. And what sort of composing is your other student after? Does he need to produce sheet music, or is it MIDI output that's needed? If the former, lilypond produces excellent output, but it's command-line driven from a (slightly) cryptic text file input. There are some GUIs out there that help out - look for denemo (although there are bugs in the one in the Ubuntu registry when producing piano scores: they've been fixed if you compile the version from the website - ask and I can help with more instructions, since I did it for my wife). For MIDI output (or an alternative lilypond GUI), try rosegarden. For audio editing, try audacity or jokosher (the latter being written by Canonical's own Jono Bacon).
