not exactly. it's a consequence of the one major change in design between
8½ and rio.  8½ muxed all graphics ops, but rio only works as a true
window manager.  under rio, programs write directly to the screen
through their own connection to /dev/draw.  the border bug is a
consequence of that coupled with my unwillingness to provide a 'grab'
operation to lock out drawing access.
