There were rumblings that they were going to start talking to the U.S. about doing some disarming for food.
Does his death derail that or help those talks take place?

That depends completely on what his son Kim Jong-un is like. And no one has even the beginnings of a clue about that.
The thing is Kim Il-sung - Kim Jong-il's father - wasn't an insane dictator. Oh, sure, he was a bad leader, a communist pig, and the effects of his Juche policy ended up starting the decline of North Korea, but he wasn't a madman. I'm sure if he were still around into this last decade when things got really bad in NK, he'd have turned to the west for help.
But Kim Jong-il took that bad-but-not-horrific legacy, and turned it into the madness we all now know. Because he was an ego-maniacal and insane asshole. Sure, some of that blame almost certainly rests on his father for failing to raise him properly and turning power over to him, but ultimately it's his own fault for being awful.
The question now is, what sort of son did he raise?
