I must second that.  After initially thinking "OK, nice, but who needs a 
screen ruler?" I repeatedly found myself using it for various purposes.  
(Often I want to compare sizes on screen / displayed photos or sth. like 
that.)

kcolorchooser I use even more often.  It's a handy little tool for.. choosing 
colors!  E.g. you want to enter R,G,B values into a webform, or in a non-KDE 
app, where the color widget is less comfortable, or you're 
programming/scripting in your favourite language and want some part of your 
program display a color that's a little more brownish than now, or the same 
color that sth. on the screen has (i.e. you can use the picker).
It's a very powerful tool for a common task IMO.

These are really two little gems that I'd propose to be more user-visible than 
e.g. x{clock,clipboard,grabsc,mag,kill}, oclock, or any terminal app.
