Since we're bashing the rio wishlist, the one thing I would love to have
is p9p's virtual rio desktops.

But as a variation, with the ability to selectively configure individual
desktops in their own namespace, allowing for isolated plumber and
factotum instances as you switch between desktops.

You can do this now with recursive rio instances, but tracking the
sub-rios is a pain in the ass.  There's a real benefit to being
able to rip between virtual desktops using the scroll wheel on the
mouse.  I've been using this under p9p for years.  Having that
capability, with distinct namespaces, under native plan9 would be a
godsend.
