Applications like gaim for jabber-based gssapi support would be handy -
this is where single sign on gets noticed.

Applications like the mailbox checker in the gnome panel applets -
actually having an applet lib that was kerberos aware (if that is even
possible) would be really handy for writing kerb apps for an applet.
like something to reinit your ticket, or blog applet, or any myriad of
things.
