I'd suspect your path causes other trouble as well. It has been said a
couple of times that the plan9 utils have different interfaces and that
nearly all Linux system expect the GNU/SysV util for many tasks.

You better do dont change your path a all. Have a look at the "wmii" and
the "extern" scripts for some background info ($PATH vs $OLD_PATH).

Did you know that if you play a Windows XP cd backwards, you
will hear the voice of Satan?
That's nothing! If you play it forward, it'll install Windows XP.
