Is there a utility that will show what wireless access points your

  iwlist scan eth0

It seems that the interface has to be "up" however (though it need not
have an IP).

  ifconfig eth0 up
will make it up, if required

NetworkManager (on a GNOME desktop) shows the wireless access points. I haven't been able to _connect_ to all the wireless access points shown with it, though.

NetworkManager (and its required companion) NetworkManagerDispatcher are services which run on both Gnome and KDE just fine. The applet - used to be called NetworkManagerInfo, I can't remember what it's called now - which displays available AP's is a separate utility. The KDE version of the applet is called KNetworkManager.
