Hmm. I can't say I've ever seen a properly working version of ktoon. I 
have never experienced it being a nice program, sadly. What about 
including Synfig? Does it build on both amd64 and i386 at the moment? I 
know it is still having quite major bugs ironed out, but it uses Gtk and 
appears to do roughly what it says on the tin, even if it does currently 
have problems rendering final output. I find it to be the more rewarding 
application at the moment.

cheers,
