Nice!
Just a thought: would it make sense to also support
(for a more 'seamless' integration in the X11 world)
some of the common X11 command line options, like
 -display and -geometry or would the multi-character
nature of them completely 'conflict' with the plan 9
way of doing things?
(I can understand arguments pro and contra, I just
 thought it could be nice to raise the issue, once)


(w.r.t. the small cleanup feedback I promised in another mail:
 it's nothing more than the usual s/nil/0/ things, together
 with an #undef sun before doing #define sun ... in the astro stuff.
 I'll see that I get to it, but right now I'm having a little
 fun playing with purify - and a short retry hunting for the
 warp-below-window bug in acme - unless someone tells me
 it is already fixed )

Axel.
