Well, riostart launches acme, a rio window, faces, and stats.  That's
about it.  Acme isn't doing anything particularly interesting, either:
just a directory window and a "win" window open.

I don't have "*nomp=1" in plan9.ini, but I am running the 9atom kernel
you gave me.  :) When it boots, it outputs the message "nomp: no mp
structure".

In case it's relevant, the built-in mouse (the belly button style thing)
is enabled.  Whether I move the USB mouse or the built-in one, the
cursor moves appropriately.  That's actually kind of handy, as it saves
me from having to move my hand to the USB mouse to do a quick text
selection while typing.  Now, if only the mouse had space, backspace,
tab, enter, and arrow keys on it, I'd be all set!
