As noted above in one of my other posts. A typical OpenBSD desktop user IMHO uses very few Linux specific things. The most annoying for me personally is GCC and GNU tool chain which will hopefully be replaced by
PCC and OpenBSD backed tool chain soon. Groff will be replaced by Nroff
as the part of the same effort. Groff is C++ so it can not be compiled by PCC
even if it was BSD licensed and a good simple implementation of Troff.
The rest of the Desktop stuff in userland really depends from person to person. I already mentioned that personally the only Linuxism I use is mencoder which is part of MPlayer. I could really check but except TeX I have absolutely no other significant parts of the system that are even GPL licensed let alone Linuxism.
