you have to restart usbd. usbd doesn't handle device ejection as far
as i can tell.

this is because rio puts each window in a sepeate namespace. there are
two ways around this. first, start this before you start rio. (alternatively
use the plumber to give all new windows access. plumb a string like
Local 'cmd for everyone to see'
) alternatively, you can use /srv to post the fd.
