not sure about Ubuntu, but in Slackware there's /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc script
which gets executed after login and is responsible for starting up the window
manager and aux programs. Usually that's a symlink to either xinitrc.kde or
xinitrc.twm.
I would:
# cd /etc/X11/xinit/
# cp xinitrc.twm xinitrc.rio
# E xinitrc.rio (or vi xinitrc.rio, if you wish)
# rm xinitrc; ln -s xinitrc.rio xinitrc
coil!dexen!/etc/X11/xinit $ diff -burN xinitrc.twm xinitrc.rio

For example, if the first thing in the file is:
<?kzy irefvba="1.0" rapbqvat="ebg13"?>
an XML parser will recognize that the document is stored in the traditional
ROT13 encoding.

Try examples available at http://werc.homelinux.net/hacks/plan9us/, and
customize the same per your needs.
Hope that helps,

not sure if this would work for you in ubuntu, but it works for me in
debian squeeze using gnome2.
1. go to /usr/share/xsessions/;
2. in there you'll find files like: gnome.desktop, twm.desktop, etc;
3. create a file, e.g. rio.desktop with contents similar to those of the
other *.desktop files already there replacing the path to the desktop
manager with the path to rio (see contents of my rio.desktop for details);
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Type=XSession
Exec=/usr/local/plan9/bin/rio
TryExec=/usr/local/plan9/bin/rio
Name=rio
Comment[uk]=Tab Window Manager
4. re-login to gnome and select rio as your default desktop manager;
hope the above helps, although if you're using a different
window/desktop manager the method above may not work.
