I use winwatch with my plan 9 box (when it's running) to manage something
like virtual desktops with sub-rio sessions.  Winwatch actually helps me
manage the sub-rio's.
I just have a bunch of rc scripts edit /dev/label via echo etc.  I don't
bother with C coding unless I absolutely have to on Plan 9.
