the rest of the script is nicely formatted.  but it looks
like this bit could use some formatting.  remember, you
get a free newline after { and |.

there is some opportunity to simplify, too.  for example
	cat /mnt/acme/$winid/tag | awk '{print $1}'
is more simply
	sed 's/ .*//g' < /mnt/acme/$winid/tag
i see several places one could replace awk with sed and cat with
redirection.

and i think further simplification is possible by using
{} instead of the temporary file dance.  and i'd imagine
that that's where the bug is.
