I recommend choosing another file manager instead of nautilus. Since you are not using the Gnome desktop, nautilus will be slower. I personally use Rox, but it's a bit strange, so try thunar and pcmanfm.

Gedit and brasero suffer from not being in Gnome too, but not so much. If you run them, they start some gnome junk with them. I personally don't like this, so i replaced them with other programs (leafpad+scite, graveman), but some might see this as a sacrifice.

For terminal, rxvt-unicode, aterm is nice too, has transparency.

For mpd check out sonata or gmpd (or gmpc, dunno) - light gtk frontends for mpd.

gtk-chtheme2 is good, but lxappearance is better IMHO - has some additional options.

If you want to have only gtk apps, replace KPDF with epdfview (i still like evince better).

HTOP is very nice; if need something graphical, gnome-task-manager (or whatever it is called) is bit too heavy - check out lxtask.

Screensaver - xscreensaver (config command - xscreensaver-demo)

EDIT: Nythain: Thanks for gmrun!

thanks in return for the skinny on the lx apps... i had looked at lxde but wasnt pleased with a lot of thier defaults, didnt pay much attention to the fact that they had a few of their own lightweight apps out there too

My list would be:

Feh: Got to have something to set the background with that supports transparency.

URXVT: Light, supports Unicode, pseudo transparency, looks particularly awesome without decorations.

Thunar: Light and awesome file manager that has support for auto mounting new thumb drives and what not built in.

Scite: Easy to use light text editor with syntax highlighting for a ton of stuff.

Conky: Highly configurable text based system monitor, useful and pretty.

GMRun: Lovely little app launcher.

Sonata/MPD: Small clean music player, with the bonus of all of MPDs inherent advantages.

XArchiver: Decent desktop environment agnostic file roller alternative.

RipOff: Very clean, light, easy to use CD ripper.

Graveman: Very clean, light, easy to use CD burner.

Comix: Designed for comic books but a very cool image viewer nonetheless.
