I would vote for (anything the rest want) and:

database/kmysqladmin/

desktop/domino/

graphic/qcad/  # A true vector based CAD for linux

scientific/celestia/

security/keepassx/  # if you don't use it -- you should, it's that good...
                    # no need to add to tree, this slack version is Qt4

utilities/ksendfax/ # very capable fax tool (hdw modem needed)
