Yup. Just tested it.

Another bug in both x11 and native mode 9vx: occasionally,
resizing the window can make it crash with a
    9vx panic: sigsegv on cpu6
But of course when I try to cause it, it doesn't happen!
Also, quickly dragging the corner on the x11 version can
render the window completely black.

The native version is different from the x11 in the following ways:
- Top right acme `term' window doesn't open
- The top row in acme doesn't show win before newcol
- The window geometry is different.
- it has to be explicitly put in background.

A UI nit: the cursor shape doesn't change when moving it out
of the 9vx window.

When we do get to see a glenda icon for 9vx?:-)

A comment on networking: Since 9vx uses the host's IP stack,
two instances can't open the same port.  But at least on
FreeBSD one can use jail(1) so that each 9vx instance has a
full complement of ports.

But this is good stuff! Thank you!
