The 'unmanage' command might do the trick for you. Example: I have a 
bash script to initialize ratpoison/wm-related stuff that runs when I 
log into my machine (in X).  An excerpt:

 ratpoison -c "unmanage gkrellm"
 ratpoison -c "exec gkrellm"

That way I know I don't have to worry about cycling through gkrellm or 
having it show up in my window lists.

HTH.
