Not a solution but this is my hack:
This file is $home/bin/rc/startup, envoked by
'exec rio -s -i startup' in $home/lib/profile
------------------------------------------
#!/bin/rc
rfork e
scr=(`{cat /dev/draw/new >[2]/dev/null || status=''})
height=$scr(12)
y1=`{echo 'int(' $height '*' 0.12 ')' | hoc}
y2=`{echo 'int(' $height '*' 0.3 ')' | hoc}
y3=`{echo 'int(' $height '*' 0.7 ')' | hoc}
width=$scr(11)
x1=`{echo 'int(' $width '*' 0.1 ')' | hoc}
x2=`{echo $x1 + 1 | hoc}
x3=`{echo 'int(' $x2 + '(' $width '*' 0.5 '))' | hoc}
x4=`{echo $x3 + 1 | hoc}
x6=`{echo $width - $y1 | hoc}
x5=`{echo $x6 - 1 | hoc}
x7=`{echo $width - 1 | hoc}

window -r $x2 $y2 $x3 $y3 logwin

This is $home/bin/rc
