Thanks for your replies. I had tried twm and mwm as temp WMs, and saw
the glitch with both.

It's interesting that the problem doesn't happen on all 64-bit ratpoison
installs. Maybe something to do with the linked libraries? I have the
following:


$ ldd `which ratpoison`
        linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007fff26d2e000)
        libXtst.so.6 => /usr/lib64/libXtst.so.6 (0x00007fb81dfab000)
        libXinerama.so.1 => /usr/lib64/libXinerama.so.1 (0x00007fb81dda8000)

        libX11.so.6 => /usr/lib64/libX11.so.6 (0x00007fb81d85d000)
