I think there is a communication problem within ratpoison, using the two
lists rp_children, containing the executed children together with the
frame information and rp_mapped_window, containing the created windows.

Receiving a CreateWindow request should map back to rp_children to
lookup the frame, wanted for execution, as far as I can see that now.
So I assume the problem is in events.c:new_window.
