In response, a serious, non-flame, question: what's the realistic alternative? It would be possible, if arduous, to replace rio with a clone of, say, fvwm. But what about fluxbox and icewm and sawfish and windowmaker and enlightenment? Is "the problem" really rio per se, or is the problem that for each person rio isn't the thing they already use? I guess my question translates into "Is there *one* X window manager which, if cloned for Plan 9, would solve the 'rio problem'?". Dave Eckhardt P.S. And I guess the follow-on question is "Would that window manager be sufficient, or are bash and turning vt into xterm necessary too?".
