You can add several programs to your GNOME panel without making it look cluttered by putting the additions into a drawer. Right-click on the panel and select "Add drawer." Now you can drag and drop programs to the open spot on the drawer to add them and select an icon that will be displayed on the drawer. You can then open or close the drawer, and run programs from it by clicking on their icons.

You can use KDE's Disk Navigator to quickly access directories through either its file manager (KFM) or an X terminal window. Open the "K" menu and place your mouse on the "Disk Navigator" entry. This will automatically open the main "Disk Navigator" menu, which you can then use to find the directory of interest. Once you locate the directory, put your mouse on the directory name to open its submenu and display the "Open Folder" item. If you click on the "Open Folder" entry with the left mouse button, a new copy of KFM will run and open to that directory. Holding the Shift key down while you click will instead make an X terminal open at the selected directory.
