I /think/ so. In general I think it strictly speaking replaces the old
BSD-style init of previous versions, in part because it allows for far
more parallelisation, which makes for a much faster boot process than
running a lot of scripts.

Unfortunately launchd doesn't provide the same dependency management as the newer BSD inits or the Apple SystemStarter application, so I was expecting to be able to use one or the other to override it.

I've use Dashboard (there's code available to let you run Dashboard widgets on 10.3) and I prefer Konfabulator. Webkit is complete overkill for what Dashboard is doing. Spotlight is something UNIX guys seem to have a love-hate relationship with, because it ONLY indexes files there's a Mac-OS way of extracting information... which means all your UNIX text files, source code, man pages, and so on get left out.
