So... My bet is that (OLPC will) want a drawing program (possibly SVG based), but stock Inkscape is going to be far too fat to fit. Maybe if we derived an extremely slimmed down, memory-friendly version...

It would be an extremely worthy goal. If OLPC-compatibility were technically possible, it would be important enough to seek dedicated funding for a slim build profile for inkscape.

The mind boggles at the implications of potentially millions of young people with a world-class vector drawing program within arm's reach throughout their day. Hook them up with creative commons concepts at the inkscape save dialogs, and you're into heady stuff.
