hi,
i just read that the rio in plan9port doesn't behave completely like the
rio in plan 9 because of problems inherent in x11/xorg.
could someone who understands x11/xorg well enough to have worked on
developing or enhancing rio under plan9ports please communicate with
keith packard? he's the god of x, and should be able to advise on a
solution either directly or as a work-around.
best,
~mayuresh

The issue is that there is no (well defined) way to hand off a window between
different X programs, so they must open a new . The fix would involve patching
every X program.
Good luck.
