I lost the ability to use the mouse to anything but bring up the root menu or a 9menu. The mouse would not work for scrolling, selecting text, or bringing up a window. I had to write to the pipe to bring up an xterm so I could exit. I otherwise like the idea, though, and am not complaining. I think I'll use the 9term pipe to see if I can work elm from a 9menu.
