Damn, you beat me to starting a new thread. I was just about to do the same thing. Oh well. 
Here's my first contribution to this thread. A couple of simple scripts that work best when mapped to hotkeys:
Code:
/*

toggleXray v1.0

--------------------
Toggles Xray mode on/off in the active view panel. Works best when mapped to a hotkey.
--------------------
*/
global proc toggleXray()
{
$currentPanel = `getPanel -withFocus`;
$state = `modelEditor -q -xray $currentPanel`;
modelEditor -edit -xray (!$state) $currentPanel;
}

Code:
/*
--------------------
toggleWireframeShaded v1.0

Toggles Wireframe on Shaded mode on/off in the active view panel. Works best when mapped to a hotkey.
--------------------
*/
global proc toggleWireframeShaded()
{
$currentPanel = `getPanel -withFocus`;
$state = `modelEditor -q -wos $currentPanel`;
modelEditor -edit -wos (!$state) $currentPanel;
}
