[9fans] plan9port rio not serving any fs?

[Lluís Batlle]

Isn't the plan9port rio exporting its windows through any fd?

I use rio, but somehow I don't see any fd from it published at
`namespace`. Maybe that's normal. :)

Thanks,
Lluís.

p9p rio doesn't use the Plan 9 file model and is not based on file
descriptors. it was written at a much earlier age and is a straight
X11 program that emulates the rio look and feel. it used to be called
'9wm'.

in fact, 9wm is so old that it emulates 8½ back when ptys were really
non-standard.

What is 9wm?
============

9wm is an X window manager which attempts to emulate the Plan 9 window
manager 8-1/2 as far as possible within the constraints imposed by X.
