This doesn't happen for me with 883.  I opened Browse, clicked on
Activities, searched for IRC, clicked download.  When it had finished,
I went to the journal and the IRC activity was there.  The IRC
activity was also in the home view.  I used Erase in the journal, and
the IRC activity remained in the home view.

Are these the steps you used?

This doesn't happen for me with 883.  The mesh icons are in the
neighbourhood view immediately after boot.  I did not need to connect
to an access point first.  I hadn't already picked an access point, so
one of the mesh icons automatically started.

If you use 883 on an XO-1.5, then the mesh icons won't appear.
