I love to read lists of favorite lightweight applications.

My own list of programs I commonly use and/or light-weight alternatives is here:
http://www.distasis.com/cpp/osrclist.htm

Some other applications that might work really well with LXDE are:
obtheme - edit OpenBox themes and xbm files, written in Python
http://xyne.archlinux.ca/projects/obtheme/
luser - low resource GUI to edit groups users belong to, written in Python
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=47053
luser tarball available:
http://knoppmyth.net/repo/larch/larch5.3/i686/
usermode - useful utilities to mount files, change passwords
https://fedorahosted.org/usermode/
gscan2pdf - Don't know how lightweight this is, but a very useful all in one scanning tool
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/gscan2pdf
gtklp - includes a nice print queue
http://gtklp.sourceforge.net/
autocutsel - am using this with urxvt and my other programs to get things between clipboards
http://www.nongnu.org/autocutsel/
dclock

diffh - for graphical file compare (just need a browser)

The gpe tools are really nice, useful and very well integrated. Some are available in the Debian package system for desktop computers (not just handheld devices).
http://gpe.linuxtogo.org/

Could think of several others, but am sure this is more than enough for starters.

Audacious is a great music player although QmmP is lighter and has the most excellent ProjectM visual plugin:

Ran across some other lightweight applications to add to the list.

If you're system has trouble running stellarium or you want a lightweight astronomy program, check out nightsky:
