ratmenu is also a bit buggy and has not seen some features added while
9menu it was forked got some. As 9menu also got keyboard support, the
new ratpoison .deb package I plan to upload as soon as ratpoison's
documention gets distributeable will use 9menu (though fall back to
ratmenu when only that is installed). Both need some work to be usable
when the menu is larger than the current frame.
