OK, this chain seems to get the job done:

8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<
/usr/share/xsessions/custom.desktop

(start-process-shell-command "ratpoison-restart" "ratpoison-restart"
                             "ratpoison --command restart")

8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<

I find it a bit curious that the last step is (seemingly) needed, but
indeed the dual-head setup from .xinitrc isn't "recognized" when RP
first starts.
