This is a vanilla-updated-to-20601 image.

A variety, and mostly it either works or complains about needing a Magma backed http repository (though it has failed there on a repo that is  on a squeaksource instance, so that seems dodgy) OR it gets the dNU because the requestor returned by Project current world focusedRequestor is the default and not the browser's requestor - which implies to me some issue with the focus finding.
