OK, here's a few, not so much what I'd like to see, more what you could do anyway:
(Leaving out dtp and wordprocessors because I can't imagine trying to
write these would be anything but boring).

Along dtp lines, how about something which will read in a picture/image
colour/greyscale display it on any monitor/mode allow loads of image
processing to be done and then output it in a format which all (most?)
dtp/document applications can cope with.  There seem to be a few commercial
things around of this kind.
Continuing with image processing, what about a character recognition program?
Should be quite good fun.

You could also try for an object drawing package.  I'm sort of having a bash
at this myself, but I've got side tracked now by omega...  It's not boringly
simple if you've never done it before (grouping objects/changing their positions/
etc.)

One other thing I can think off, especially now that you can just feed
sound directly into a falcon, and that's something which will process
sound samples (off line), to clean them up, alter/edit them etc.


Well there's loads there, generally quite a lot of work involved, but
you did say "applications" above.
