a Plan 9 program that uses keyboard and mouse accesses them
through the names in the name space.  consequently, another application,
rio being a particular example, can substitute its own things for any or
all of those names (as rio does in each window).  it's thus
no surprise that ktrans works for emu as for anything else.  a foolish program
might try to use #c directly, i suppose, but then it wouldn't work under rio,
let alone under ktrans.

no, quite.  don't even think about their network interfaces.
