Version: 0.6.17-16 works nicely for me on Debian Lenny.

There were a couple of issues and Daniel Baumann, the former Debian
packager seems to have fixed some of the in -17:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=skencil;dist=unstable
He also wrote the package it self would be in a good state,
but I haven't tried in Squeeze myself.

I fully agree.
