What packages/applications should I add when I install Xubuntu to my X40?

I'm about to install Linux on my X40 as soon as my USB to IDE adapter gets here. However, I'm not sure of what I'll need.

Things I'm pretty sure about:

1. XFCE-compatible version of Wifi-manager. The default version is missing a GT2k library.
2. Power management stuff for the X40. Battery life is a big concern for me.
3. ACPI support for Linux. I also very much need the ability to suspend - I can't really get along without it.
4. Drivers for the stock Wifi card - I think it's an Intel 2100.

Things I would like:
1. Murrine or a similar theme for XFCE. This should work straight from the repostiory.
2. Some games - preferably, the the emulator that will allow me to run Baldur's Gate under linux. (It actually replaces the engine, and just uses all the BGII files - I've technically bought the game four times, if you're wondering, and have the CDs.)
3. A really good Wifi management setup.
4. A good music player.

Any tips from the Gurus?
