it's a unix-related problem.  the feature of setting window labels
is shared between plan 9 and p9p, but the plan 9 version uses /dev/label
while the p9p version uses xterm escapes.  the plan 9 version doesn't
have this quirk, but the p9p version plays nicely with unix stuff.

it's a compromise, but probablly the best one available.
