[RP] ratpoison hiding windows

As a temporary solution to the problem with random crashes at
restart/tmpwm/newwm, that I wrote about a few days ago, I put something
like this in my .xsession:

while true; do
    RESULT=`Xdialog --stdout --no-tags --radiolist 'Select WM' 0x0 3 ratpoison 
ratpoison on windowlab windowlab off` || break
    ${=RESULT}
done

(That's zsh if you wonder about the strange syntax.)

Now, if I exit ratpoison and enter some other wm (I have tried with both
windowlab and twm), only the windows that is currently visible when
exiting ratpoison is available to the other wm.

This also goes for when I switch wm with tmpwm/newwm (which I tried,
even if they are rather crash-prone).

If no one else has this problem either, maybe it's related to the
previously mentioned `restart' crashes.
