Missed two but maybe they aren't popular
If you are including Gimp, then how about Google Apps Picasa. This is an excellent free photo organizing program. Google has even put out a Linux beta of this handy program.

Google Sketchup - a highly intuitive 3-D Cad program. It's simply awesome...and free. Mac and PC versions but no Linux...yet.
