    If ion contains specialized code for MacOS X I can probably figure
it out.

    Okay, I'll look into this. Would there be any reason not to make
rect.x,rect.y,rect.width, and rect.height available via 9P in wmii-4?
That way I can confine whatever modifications are necessary to the tools
that I write. Though I have to admit that offhand I can't think of too
many other cases where one would want to write these values, but there
are probably a number of useful reasons for being able to read them
interactively.

    Thanks.
