In response, a serious, non-flame, question: what's the realistic
alternative? It would be possible, if arduous, to replace rio with
a clone of, say, fvwm. But what about fluxbox and icewm and sawfish
and windowmaker and enlightenment? Is "the problem" really rio per
se, or is the problem that for each person rio isn't the thing they
already use?
I guess my question translates into "Is there *one* X window manager
which, if cloned for Plan 9, would solve the 'rio problem'?".
Dave Eckhardt
P.S. And I guess the follow-on question is "Would that window manager
be sufficient, or are bash and turning vt into xterm necessary too?".
