Thanks for ratpoison. I'm using it on a Toshiba laptop,
gnu/linux slackware with XFree86 3.xx X11R6. I like that
ratpoison lets me get maximum use out of the nice, but small screen.
My goal is to go mouseless. I think emacs centric users will go
for RP.
I've recently gone through a quick evaluation of lightweight
window managers:
Output of ls -l for compiled binaries:

I hope the
:bind c exec -c xterm
workaround makes it into the source docs. I wasted a little time
digging for that. On the other hand, having only wm
config. setting is amazing!
Keep up the good work on the Docs. They were informative and funny.
Thanks.
