Makes me dislike X11's design even more. My "solution" works well
enough for libdraw apps, but falls apart in the presence of standard
X11. Grump.

I don't know how you keep a cross-process lock anywhere.
In Plan 9, rio provides the terminal windows - there is no 9term.
If an app opens /dev/mouse (which rio provides), then rio knows
an app is taking over the window and stops doing the terminal
things for that window. You can't run sam inside acme - only
one program can open /dev/mouse at a time.
I'm less worried about sam inside acme than I am about
programs fighting over windows because of lack of coordination.
It sounds like this requires significant coordination between
the programs.
