Hold down Ctrl and then move your mouse/trackball scroll wheel up or down. This resizes fonts on the fly in most applications. Also works in a Gnome desktop. Not sure about others...

MACOS X TIPS

you wanna move dock without touching settings. ok hold shift and then drag dock from divider between programs and trashcan. wow! it moves to left side, down, and right side without opening dock settings!

Nice OSX one, if you have screen zooming enabled - hold control and move the mouse wheel to zoom in and out of the screen. Also of course, hold shift and press various buttons to see the nice 3d interface effects in slow motion...
