This should be a contentious category :)
things I'd see as essential
X
nfs or smb client 
mutt
icewm
xemacs
lyx (on qt libraries)
gdcalc
ghostscript for printing

nice:
samba
ftp server? (get the files there without sneakernet)
dia or xfig
ImageMagick for the file conversion tools
apache to run a local web server with piccies of 
       the good parts machined.
