I must admit, the latest drop in the bucket that made me consider that change again is: when I unplug the external monitor from my laptop, not only does rio not automatically switch displays properly (I have to use my xrandr-based scripts to do that), but even after I've switched displays, the windows haven't been scaled down. So I end up with an acme window (that I could, and that I usually end up resizing down manually), whose bottom is completely hidden, and as such, so are all the stacked (acme) windows.
Anyway, I should probably first look into making rio automatically rescale fullscreen windows when switching displays.
