Re: [9fans] 9vx.OSX bug: resize on second display causes window to go wrong

[Uriel <uriel99@gmail.com>]

X11 code is still broken in various places, for example in Inferno-os
(and even more so acme-sac, which is missing some of the updates that
made it into inferno-os).

So my comment applies as much to the osx code as to the x11 code, and
to hypothetical win32 code. That is the whole point, that every time
there is a new port, the same dance starts over again, and even when
code is 'mature' its maintenance in some systems (eg., p9p) is better
than others (eg., inferno-os). If there was a single codebase shared
across projects none of this would be an issue at all.
