Yes, rio needs whole display in Xorg. Xorg is a huge complex beast,
can't do the same things as on plan9 easily.
It makes no sense to me that you want to run *both* xfce and rio
anyway. Decide on the one that is more useful for you.
what's your latency to the cpu server? if you're limited by high
latency you might want to try 9front with 9front's drawterm, where
certain latency sensitive draw operations are optimized a lot more
than in plan9's version.
