Yes, so far it sounds good.  

A recent user request was for WebCollab to use cookies instead of
session encoded URL's.  This was allow tabbed browsing without having to
paste in URL's.  However when I looked deeper into cookies, it gets
difficult - they usually work, but not always!  So, I made WebCollab
initially try a session cookie _and_ encoded URL.  If the cookie works
(i.e. the browser returns it with the next request), the encoded URL is
dropped.  Hopefully (!) this should get around cookie problems.

What you're seeing is then normal.  The cookie was accepted, so
WebCollab puts 'x=0' in the URL (I tried 'x= ', but it looked silly).

The question is:  Does it work!!  There's a Bug Report open that looks
like a cookie problem.  I'd really like to know if it's a one-off or a
big problem.

I've tested the cookie code in every browser I can get my hands on (they
all worked).  I'm confident it's stable, but...!!
