I think we're going to want to add a start button and taskbar to our builtin explorer. None of the replacements seem to look anything like Windows XP, which is kind of what I'm after.
Again, I think you should look at explorer-new. Its pretty close to working, I think the StartMenu and friends work. It is designed for Windows XP, does the Desktop, Start Menu, Taskbar, etc, is written in C, is LGPL and is written by a ReactOS developer that has not been blacklisted by Wine. I don't think it would be much trouble to merge the two. Except of course shell32 is where most of the explorer really lives and there is a lot of functionality missing in wine. Due to the ReactOS embargo, shell32 has started to fork quite a bit on the ReactOS side.
