There is also Drawing, but I think it has no options to set compression parameters for e.g. jpeg.
Krita is a professional FREE and open source painting program

Drawing fits that description, but it isn't really comparable to Krita — the authors describe it as like MS Paint but for Gnome.
Pinta seems similar, but more Xfce-ish.
