I had a play with Admin Strip recently and sent Brendan the update. Amongst a few minor but I think useful UI tweaks it now has the option for quick access to your Mint stats and it will hide the Moderate Comments and Akismet links if there are no comments to moderate or no spam in Aksimet's list. You can get it here.
Here's a screengrab.

Brendan
I have updated the plugin admin strip two, sporting full support for wordpress 2.1.x and 2.2, along with added support for UTW, which, if detected, adds the current tag count and a handy link to the tags. #
