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.
