Indeed, OpenEV could use a little friendliness ;)

CIETmap (which is based on OpenEV) currently has those capabilities,
although in a limited fashion. It uses the current OGR features
implementation of gvogrfs.py to draw various shapes. The gview module
also has a Symbol Manager to deal with those shapes at a lower-level.

Yes, GIMP is GTK-based and even has python bindings. I'm not sure
however if it wouldn't be overkill...

That's my two-cents...
