Using Sage with Fluid
Above is Sage running in Fluid.app, which is a “SSB” (Site Specific Browser). I am starting to like using the Sage notebook this way because it doesn’t interfere with my regular browsing and it’s nice having a dock icon to show your friends 
Here’s how you can get it up and running in no time:
1) Install Fluid.app (http://fluidapp.com)
2) Create a new SSB by pointing it to http://localhost:8000
3) You can use this Sage logo for a dock icon (the icon is from artwork done by Sirio who originally posted it to the sage-devel mailing list)
Obviously this will not work if you don’t run sage from elsewhere. I thought about including some script-fu to make it launch Sage automatically, but since I do sage -br so often it’s rather pointless.

This doesn’t work for me, at least with sage-3.0, with either local or remote sessions. I’ll try it with 3.0.2.

There is at least Prism (used to be WebRunner) for Linux (and other platforms), as another SSB option. I was just thinking about this earlier today myself. There are a variety of bundles, i.e. preconfigured .webapp collections, available (like a Google Groups .webapp, so you can treat it not unlike a regular desktop app).
