it has not, (that is why?) it displays the rio button3 menu
(or the button3 menu from whatever window manager you are using), as:
(quoted from todo list in the $PLAN9/src/cmd/rio/README)

  - Should change 9term to redirect b3 clicks to rio so that rio
    can put up the usual b3 menu.

(at least, that is what it does for me, as far as I can tell
 (cvs diff) that code got added to the ports distribution)

> the old 9term (from matty farrow) does.

but that one has different entries.
This 9term is much closer to the plan 9 rio windows.


Somewhat related:
I also have code that tries to do some other items from
the todo list in the $PLAN9/src/cmd/rio/README:

  - Should change window focus on b2/b3 clicks and then
    pass along the click event to the now-focused window.

but I think I recall Russ wanted to wait a bit to see if he
really wants this, before including it in the distribution.


The 9wm on which rio is based already contains the code to do

   - Should work out a protocol between 9term and rio so that:
	* 9term can tell rio to blue its border during hold mode

using an X property (Atom? whatever it is called) put in the X server.
I have some not-so-beautiful code that does this as well.
