The feet of my nearly-complete workbench total about 60 square inches. That makes them more likely to slide on my painted concrete floor. On top of that, imperfections in the floor and/or chips, shavings or sawdust gets under the feet when it is moved. Would gluing on some thin rubber pieces be a good idea?

How about some of that stick on cork? To the feet. Not the floor.. The glue will ruin the paint.. Well, at least if you try to replace it!
If your not to worried about the floor.. STUD GUN!
I saw some rubber pads just for that in Grangers? I can't find my catalogue though... It is thick and sticki but comes off even with it on a surface along time.. Used for machine tools...

I wonder if a door stop attached to the legs would work?

That would solve the sliding problem but not the minor uneveness. I'm going to try the cork. Thanks for the suggestion.
FJeff,
What are you going to stand on? Concrete gets pretty hard on the shins. Last year I put down a few squares of the dri-cote(HD= $1.25 per sq. ft.) and it has worked great....I'd put it under my bench(attach)too and nothing will slip
