Send an appropriate string to wmii's /rules file.

$ cat ~/.wmii-hg/wmiirc_local.rc |vgrep
...
wmiir write /rules <$HOME/.wmii-hg/rules
$ cat ~/.wmii-hg/rules
/^Pidgin:/ allow=+activate
/MPlayer/ floating=on
/^ROX-Filer:/ group=0
/^chromium:/ group=0
/:Namoroka$/ group=0
/^pcmanfm:/ group=0
/^gnome-terminal:/ group=0
