GTK+ without X!
Rayban writes: "Just noticed on news.gnome.org that the Linux framebuffer support for Gtk+ is now in CVS. This means that you can now write a quick Gnome app that doesn't require X at all! Imagine a Gtk+-based distro installation that can run solely off the framebuffer! No more VESA hack and a significant disk space savings - maybe even a Gtk+-based bootloader? The screenshots are here, here and here." Obviously the screenshots aren't very special, but I'm having no problem thinking of interesting, useful tasks for this.
