I know nothing, Mario - but given the radically different way windows
work in X, it's unlikely that folder actions will reappear in their
current form.
I'm only just getting my head around the idea that folders and the
windows that their contents appear in are not directly linked any more. A
Finder window now behaves like a standalone viewer, in which the contents
of any folder that you have access to can be displayed.
The folder metaphor is still there in the Aqua interface, but navigating
around the contents of my hard drive in X is more like scrolling through
a microfiche than sorting through a pile o' folders. And trying to make
windows behave like the folders of old just results in misery.
It would be nice to have something like folder actions back, though.
AppleScript without folder actions is almost as hobbled as AppleWorks
without macros, fergoodnessake.
