I have been playing with a virtual desktop setting using the
mechanisms rio provides.  I am not sure it is a good idea, but while
writing it I got accross this.  What is the reason behind an unhide
command written to /dev/wsys/n/wctl setting the current window?.
Given there is a current command, wouldn't it be much general to do
that explicitly?.

the only reason was consistency with the menu interface. feel free
to play.
