So the 0.2.0 release is begin skipped altogether.  Well, if it's
complete, it's complete; I've used the 0.2.0cvs version for a couple
days, and it's worked great! 
Using another window manager now seems so awkward...

I didn't mean anything interactive like that, that would go against
what I think is the spirit of ratpoison. I meant the list of managed
windows would be shown while the "Switch to window: " prompt is being
displayed, so I'd know what possible titles I could type in. 
But I just thought I'd toss off some wild ideas, I didn't expect them
to be taken seriously.

Absolutely; thanks Gergely and Ryan, too, and everyone else who
contributed!

Thanks all!
