Ok ! I did'nt grab the whole philosophy of ratpoison

Nice :-)
I just have to add the modifiers and that should do it.

I am at work now so I can't test it but I see a potential problem: doesn't
'exec' run the command in the background? If so, 'unbindall' may not be
completed when I start my own binds in .ratpoisonrc

An obvious solution could be to do all unbinds and binds from a single
shell script started from .ratpoisonrc.
