Off the top of my head, the only third party CDEVs I can think of is:

Marinetti:  TCP/IP stack/configuration
     Author:  Richard Bennet
KillDaWhoosh:  Gets rid of the zooming box when opening and closing
     windows in the finder.
     Author:  Nathan Mates
ShortExtras:  Gets rid of divider lines between Finder Extras in the
     Extras menu of the Finder making the menu MUCH shorter.
     Author:  Nathan Mates
DeskColor:  Allows changing the periwinkle blue background of the
     desktop to any colour, pattern or graphic.
     Author:  Can't remember
TextPrinter:  Came with the Orca languages to control how printing
     source code and such went to the printer.  I haven't really used
     it so I could be wrong.
     Author:  Byteworks
Heirarchic:  New version is a CDEV.  Adds heirarchical menus to
     desktop programs that support them.
     Author:  SevenHills Software

I'm pretty sure there are others, I just can't remember anymore right
now.
