It seems I found the problem. I had a rc.wmii.local file in my
~/.wmii-3.5 directory. When I removed the file WMII managed to get
past the dumb white screen and ran fine. My question now is how can I
have a local rc.wmii and still be able to run WMII?

I also noticed that upon exit from WMII I still get the 'wmiir : fatal
: can't mount' error'. How serious is that?

One more issue: when I try using wmiir from inside WMII to try and
read /bar, /view, whatever I always get the error 'file not found'.
What is I am doing wrong?
