Definitely Anjuta. I use it myself.

And put in postgresql-devel and libpqxx--a full set of libraries and
includes for creating client apps for PostgreSQL in C/C++.

For that matter, why not include wxGTK and its KDE equivalent? That's
GPL, AFAIK.

And while you're at it: the OpenOffice SDK.

And--oh, yes: the Apache XML-FO processor. (And make sure that the XSL
processor installs as part of Linux--I think it does, though. It's never
turned up missing--but I always install DocBook stuff, just in case.)

And finally: apt and Synaptic. Yes, I know you include yum, and yum
saved my bacon lately. But--you can't have too many package managers. A
good desktop administrator should include them all: apt, yum, and
up2date.

What I've just named are the apps that I always go out and bag every
time I install Fedora Core on a new machine. Well, not all of them--I
haven't named the ones that distribute under their own licenses that are
incompatible with the GPL. These include:

acroread
Java (at least the JRE if not the SDK)
mplayer
