Gena,
Thanks for sharing that info. I downloaded both programs and tried them out 
some. Inkscape is really pretty cool. I think it might do for my vector 
drawing needs. Pixel looks like it has the potential to be a really good 
program, but, at least with the windows version, it is so buggy I was unable 
to do anything with it (and that's not an exaggeration). I think their final 
release is a long, long, long way off.
