Here is a guide to many tested, good applications, many with space occupied on your hard drive (generally not including dependencies): http://lxlinux.com/#19.

In light of LXDE moving towards Qt, thought I'd add some lightweight Qt programs to the list.

SpeedCrunch - calculator
http://www.speedcrunch.org/en_US/index.html
Scan Tailor - for use with page scanning
http://sourceforge.net/projects/scantailor/
QComicBook - cbr/cbz viewer
http://qcomicbook.org/
fbreader - ebook reader (Has both Qt and GTK backends.)
http://fbreader.org/
searchmonkey - Qt version of search program (There's also a GTK version.)
http://sourceforge.net/projects/searchmonkey/
KeePassX - password database
http://www.keepassx.org/
qmmp - music player
http://code.google.com/p/qmmp/
wkhtmltopdf - html to pdf conversion
http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/

Those are some of the lighter Qt based applications I've used. More lightweight programs are listed at:
