Any application based on Qt/Embedded or Gtk/FB. Several distributions'
graphical installers, I think. Trolltech's palmtop application
environment, I'm quite sure. Any number of custom embedded apps intended
to run in environments too small for an X server. Quite some time back
there were a decent number of games written to target the framebuffer,
as well.
Being able to use Xen to prototype embedded applications (at least when
host and target architectures match) is a very, very big win.
