I believe that you are right about that, Martin. With most
x-terminal-emulators its appearance and other things can be
configured on the commandline:

aterm -title "FOO" -fn "-*-courier-medium-r-normal-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1" 
-geometry 109X45+0+0 -bg beige  -sl 300 +sb 

Title, font, size and placement, background color, scrollback buffer
size, and no border.

Not Ratpoison's concern. It would be completely unrealistic to
expect it to be able to cover all of the x-terminal-emulators
out there.

Note that Ratpoison _will_ pick up the title configured there, 
which is nice.
