I would suggest compiling some large packages (gcc or glibc) and doing that in parallel, to put some stress on the scheduler, memory, disk. You can also put few workstations and a server on a separate network and do some big compilations over NFS/Samba. I don't know what kind of load testing can be done for KDE&Gnome. Maybe loading OpenOffice? I'm just half kidding - load open office and create some macros that test various things and run them in a loop.
