jur:
I'm having trouble understanding .X.d:
I renamed my .xsession so tc wouldn't find it. After booting I found a newly created .xsession, with a new .X.d statement at the end, but no .X.d directory - searching didn't find it. Where is it located? I don't see in in /~...
maro:
Good stuff Robert (+ Core team)!!
I've just re-tested the "funny" behaviour of 'appbrowser', and can report that this appears to be now fixed.
It's nice to see a new version of BusyBox. I was wondering whether it could be compiled with the VI editing mode enabled. Another question would to to potentially include new applets like lspci and lsusb.
@jur: Did you do ls -la ~/.X.d? I at least "see" this directory and the 'wbar' file (which is now part of the initrd in the form of '/etc/skel/.X.d/wbar').
bigpcman:
Confirmed Opera10 now installs with wbar icon present.

As I have been quite busy with the freedesktop implementation, I did not compile the new busybox. I will however pass along your request and see if it can be done for the next RC.
