Something like a report.

I have a pixel 4 with current android version 11. Drawterm started and I 
was able to create my server connections.

I found the screen (the Plan 9 Console window with blue border) being 
unreliable, sometimes not showing up at all, sometimes it was there but 
didn't show any text. It could be a connection error (that it didn't have 
anything to show) or the inability to show text.

As there is no soft keyboard support (which is sad, btw) I wasn't able to 
start a factotum with a secstore prompt before starting rio (with bitsy 
keyboard). I think I need to add another branch to lib/profile to handle 
this properly (starting factotum, opening rio with bitsy, manually load 
keys from secstore or something like that).

Opening windows with the finger works, sometimes it seems like the actual 
pointer is right over the finger (especially when typing on the bitsy 
keyboard).

When switching the application, the window screen turns to black. I 
needed to do something on the screen (klick somewhere) to redraw it.

Hitting android back button always kills the app. This happens inside a 
session (a dialog would be good here), inside the connection 
configuration (instead of switching back) and inside the existing 
connection overview (which is fine, I think).

Anyways, good work on the app. Thank you very much!
