[RP] ratpoison+xbindkey problems...

[Vardhan Varma]

 Hi all,
  
  I'm having ratpoison entering infinite loop, repeatedly display
  'ERROR -- bad window handle' or something like it when using
  along with xbindkeys.

  Basically i have a little shell script

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
#!/bin/sh -f

## Find the window, or run the command to create the window ...
## $1 -- RE matching window name
## $2 -- Command to run if window not found


## After running $2, wait for two seconds, and print the
## name of newly created window(s).



### Get existing windows
ratpoison -c "windows %n %t" > /tmp/win$$.1
c=`grep -- "$1" /tmp/win$$.1 | cut -d' '  -f1`


if [ "$c" == "" ] ; then
  $2 &
  sleep 2
  ratpoison -c "windows %n %t" > /tmp/win$$.2
  #diff /tmp/win$$.1 /tmp/win$$.2

  ratpoison -c "windows %n %t" > /tmp/win$$.1
  c=`grep -- "$1" /tmp/win$$.1 | cut -d' '  -f1`
fi

ratpoison -c "select $c"

  

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

 and in ~/.xbindkeys

"win 'Mutt' 'xterm -fn 10x20 -T Mutt -e mutt' &"
    XF86Launch1


  Questions:
1. Does order of starting ratpoison and xbindkeys matter ? Should it matter ?
2. is it a proble, with both grabbing the keyboard. 
  In fact, I'ld be prefectly happy with ratpoison NOT grabbing the keyboard,
  and xbindkeys invking 'ratpoison -c ' on hot keys.
