Here's my first cut through the list. More to follow. Hope it helps.

AVS
---
Data visualization programming environment for end-users
     - Appears very powerful, but well outside the envelope for stuff
       most users want to do.
     - Licence: commerical :(

daVinci
-------
daVinci is a X-Window visualization tool for drawing directed graphs
     automatically
     - No luck opening web page :(
     - Has RPM
     - Licence: Free, with restrictions

Electric
--------
CAD/EDA tool for multiple levels of design 
     - Not exactly mainstream stuff, but then again, why not include
       it? Lots of folks would like to try CAD.
     - Licence: GPL

Glove
-----
Data acquisition, manipulation, and analysis program for X-Windows 
     - This would be a good one to add, IMO.
     - Licence: free with restrictions

gnuplot
-------
Plotting package, output to X11, postscript, png, gif and others 
     - Include it. :)
     - Licence: freely redistrutable, with some restrictions for
       recompile/redistribution

Grace
-----
a WYSIWYG 2D plotting tool 
     - This would be another good one, though it isn't exactly a
       mainstream pkg.
     - Has Red Hat, Debian packages
     - Licence: GPL

GTKWave
-------
Wave viewer for Verilog simulation 
     - Really cool, but likely well out of the needs of most users
     - Licence: freely redistributable
