 Zwgc (6.0) and fred rename .subscritions as .zephyr.subs, but not .windowgram 
 as .zephyr.desc.  Don't you think it should?

Actually, zctl does the rename (zwgc and fred each do a zctl load at
initialization time.) It is probably reasonable to have the field
release (1) do the *right* thing with .subscriptions (check first for
.zephyr.subs, and only replace it if it *DOESN'T EXIST*) and then (2)
do the same for .windowgram.
