Gnome When on Unix/Linux I mostly use Gnome, and so here are some of the best third party GTK+ applications around I have found.

I'm so dead

I think I am dead, or at least on the intensive care... Okay, for image editing you can't get around The Gimp, but:

I mostly use OpenOffice for office things, because it is integrated, for example, I can put parts of spreadsheets into presentations and text documents.
For playing multimedia MPlayer works fine, except for DVD playing but the only way I get halfway decent performance is a commercial DVD playing app on Windows 98.
For the rest I use KDE.
Konqueror+KuickShow is ideal for viewing pictures. Konqueror renders the thumbnails, with one middle click they show in KuickShow, which is very lean and fast. With the scroll wheel you can browse through photo's.
Kopete works perfectly fine as an instant messenger. It does MSN, ICQ and AIM and especially the not too disturbing notification pop-ups are very nice.
I don't have too many MP3's, but until now JuK has worked fine for me. Too bad it doesn't yet fully support KIO.
And for CD burning there is K3B.

So either I am dead or you can live perfectly fine without most of these applications.
