They help prevent cluttering the screen with windows and are very useful in 
several cases:

- System Monitor: to show why things are suddenly taking much longer, that 
memory is full,
  &c.
- Disk Mounter: to show if a USB device has been correctly detected and made 
available
- date, time & local temperature
- Link Monitor: are there any network problems? where?

…and a lot of fun in others:

- Eyes (and they help you locate the pointer)
- Wanda the Fish
