Excellent!

Hopes up... (Update: it was too beatiful to be true... sniff)

BTW, I've been investigating the 2.4 minimo (/usr/bin/browser) a bit:

What we knew:
- It's profoundly hacked :-)
- doesn't implement the buttons
- doesn't implement the cache: functionality

What I've discovered:
- it opens always with a predefined geometry (that was easy)
- it does some IPC using UDP sockets to communicate with pageBar (send messages to UDP port 50073, receive them in UDP port 50068)
- it implements some dialogs (sometimes it has displayes me a gtk error dialog, I don't remember what it was.

Yes, that means that pageBar is listening in UDP port 50073. What I don't know is the communication method with displayMgr (as it crashes in scratchbox :-/ ).
