actually, ratpoison makes something strange with it's keyboard handling wich 
makes characters involving dead keys or alt-gr impossible to write. for example 
~, ñ, $ and ^ are impossible to write inside ratpoison.

i don't have a clue on why, but i do understand that there is a small problem 
with ratpoison.

i'm including three affected lines from the standard swedish keymap.

keycode  13 = 4 currency dollar dollar
keycode  21 = dead_acute dead_grave dead_cedilla dead_ogonek
keycode  35 = dead_diaeresis dead_circumflex dead_tilde dead_macron
