I have the same error. So i tried this (in the tip o' the day) for charon :


#!/bin/rc

rfork n

if(! test -f /dev/draw/new){
	bind -a '#i' /dev
}

exec /usr/inferno/Plan9/$objtype/bin/emu -G -I -c1 /dis/sh.dis -c '
	mount -bc {mntgen} /mnt
	bind -c ''#U*'' /n/local
	bind -c ''#₪'' /srv
	rioimport {
		charon -buttons plain -framework all,exit $* > /dev/null >[2=1]
		echo halt > /dev/sysctl
	} $*
' $*

Substitute wm/wm to charon for inferno. I know it's just a workaround,
wihout explaining it more thant that, but it's work.
