Good in principle, I think, but just to note: if window(1) no longer calls itself, users will probably have to change quoting in scripts which call window. Examples from my riostart:
window -r 268 0 868 400 -scroll rc -c \
'''label -f kprint; echo kprint; tail -f /tmp/kprint'''
window -r 0 0 128 128 colorclock_l
window -r 0 124 128 252 rc -c \
'''font=/lib/font/bit/dejavusans/unicode.12.font; stats -Ime'''
Granted, reducing the necessary quotes would be a benefit for new users. I'm not even sure how I figured out 2 levels of quoting were necessary.
Now I think of it, I don't really agree with window(1) setting the label at all, but it's a minor point.
(label -f is my own extension.)
