Part of the amusement of this is looking at people's desktop icons and seeing what programs they have, and looking at people's system trays and seeing how full it is. So far, I don't think anyone here has beaten how full my system tray is:
Left to right: AIM, Motherboard Monitor, HotSync Manager, Wireless Signal Strength, Network Status, PowerMenu, ATI Display, Norton Anti-Virus, Seti @ Home, Realtek Audio, Immersion Desktop (for iFeel mouse), VNC, inCD (CD packet writing)

Blargh, I have merely three apps in my systray:
Gaim (use it for msn), rhythmbox (music player) and acme (multimedia keys app).
Then I have two launchers (which'd be comparable to your windows quicklaunch folder) for galeon (browser) and the terminal.
What fills the bar up is all the other applets though, two network monitor applets for each nic, email applet, charmap applet, two clocks: one normal, one internet time. Then there's the windowlist menu (stolen from mac

) that I hardly use and ma blog applet (don't use that much anymore either).
