I'll be doing it slightly differently;
 ratmenu menu1 cmd1 -default menu2 cmd3 menu3 cmd3

The last "-default" encountered will take precedence; any previous ones
will be silently ignored.

This is the shell script I use to replace the "windows" command.  Try it
out and report back.  This script also has the current window seleted as
the default :)

#!/usr/bin/env bash

( printf "ratmenu -style dreary -fg grey -bg blue";
 ratpoison -c "windows %l %n %t" | sort -nr | while read w x z; do
   a=$(printf "%3q" $x); b="ratpoison -c \"select $x\"";
   printf " %q\\ %q %q"  "$a" "$z" "$b";
 done; echo \; ) | sh
