The quick-and-dirty way to do workspaces is sub-rios anyways, with the
"status bar" outside them, so that doesn't seem like a problem to me
for this case.

> rio is scriptable

http://sam-d.org/win/

contains a couple scripts I use for ad-hoc window management;
conspicuously missing is win/fill to tell a window to expand to fill
any empty space left by a recently-closed window, but that should
be doable as well by iterating through all the windows in the current
rio to determine what's empty space (though relative coordinates
in sub-rios -- the bane of rio scripting -- may trip you up here).
