this has nothing to do with ratpoison, it's an X config question. open
up /etc/X11/XF86Config and add/change the line:

    Option "XkbLayout"  "dvorak"

in the Section "InputDevice". in your case, it probably says something
other than "dvorak". change it to a keyboard map that has dead keys,
eg us_intl. you can probably put the same keyboard map there as you
select in KDE.
