I'll see if I can get 5 :-)

I'm imagining this as an imagemagick extension, so I'll put these together.
I'd like an export that will let me specify a bg color for the png, or
let me export to bmp, jpg or anything else imagemagick supports.
Imagemagick support would be great since it supports so many formats but I
think formats like PNG and JPEG really should be supported directly
through gdkpixbuf to make sure they work on all platforms. Also
imagemagick is relatively big unless you are assuming users already have
it installed.

Decorative border adder
Taking a pattern and using to generate a frame could be very interesting.

Color Scheme palette generator. Generate a web color palette with
complimenting and contrasting colors based on the currently chosen
color. Similar to how this page does:

Took me a while to find it (and make sure it was included in the Wiki
once and for all) but Agave, formerly Gnome Color Scheme does what you
need.

I do hope more useful smaller tools like this will spring up and ease up
the pressure on Inkscape to include everything by default.

Export all groups as pngs.
Good idea, especially since this would also give you "Save all Layers".
