For "easy to use graphics program" are you looking for something
like Paint Shop Pro?  I know CorelPaint was available for linux
for a while on a free (as in beer) basis.  Have you looked into
that? (Actually, I don't know if it is still available or not, sorry.)

For the other two, well, those of you saying that the linux desktop
isn't there yet, there's a concrete need that has yet to be met.
Time to get working. ;-)

Cheers,
Tanner
