... which is the same problem I had when I briefly tried ratpoison, and
the same problem I had when I ran without any window manager. Now I use
fvwm2 and don't have any more problems with it. I never did figure out
why ratpoison was getting confused, there were no other open windows
that could have had focus. It wasn't really worth my time to try to
figure it out because I had other more serious problems with ratpoison
on a TV.
