Tux Paint
http://www.newbreedsoftware.com/tuxpaint/
maybe not as good as Kid Pix (http://www.riverdeep.net/products/kid_pix/kpd4.jhtml)
but you can't beat the price
anyone interested in us doing a review on kid's painting programs?
Dragonrider:
Have you tried "Project Dogwaffle"? It's a paint type program for artists. It isn't really for kids, but my 12 & 14 year old girls use it all the time & love it.

Or "PlantStudio"?

It's also at www.download.com. The author's website is in I think German, so unless you know German, I'd use download.com if I were you. That's what I did. Again, it's not really a kid's drawing program, but it's a program that allows you to create your own flowers & other garden plants along with whole gardens & scenes. My kids like it a lot as well.

Dragonrider

Thanks for pointing out Tux Paint! I think I've heard of it before, but for some reason never bothered installing it. My daughter enjoys it, so how can I complain?
I learned quickly that it really is necessary to run it in full-screen mode. And it saves files as PNG, which is cool. I recommend downloading the "rubber stamps" too. Good stuff.
