Perhaps because I don’t use it as my main desktop, but there are two essential little apps:
ssh
Vim

I can’t believe Ubuntu doesn’t have ssh installed, and then they go and put a kneecapped version of Vim in!!

At this point I only have one suggestion:

glipper : A GTK clipboard manager.

While it still has some way to go, it beats having to hunt down every little bit of text I’ve copied before. With some more effort it might acquire the feature set of ClipX, another program made for Windows

My apps:
Konversation ( I m addicted to irc and Pidgin just ain’t good enough for that)
K3b
Mplayer and the great frontend called Smplayer
Supertuxcart and Frozen bubble (gotta have a little fun every now and then)
Acetoneiso2,pretty much handles every iso file using a nice gui
and Deluge,my torrent client of choice.

this app aren’t my top 10 but also good choice.

You may want to consider Krita from KOffice.
I make a lot of small graphics buttons, wallpapers and the like, and GIMP is more suitable (and, indeed, intended) for photo editing than creating graphics.
As for the editor (okay, everybody has an opinion on that), consider playing with Medit (http://mooedit.sourceforge.net/). It has a nice right-side file picker and a terminal at the bottom – nice for script testing. I have a screencast (made also with RecordMyDesktop, by the way) at http://syntaktisk.dk/downloads/medit.ogv .
