I haven't used this more than to play with it briefly.  At any place in the
screen, press the right mouse button, Filters->Render->gfig to get into the
drawing program.  This is basically a line drawing program similar to xfig.

When I have a lot of text to use in an image, and want really good text,
I'll import the image into xfig, add the text, then save it as PostScript.
This results in true PostScript fonts rather than bitmapped fonts and often
prints much better.
