However it's not good when ratmenu makes keybindings act in
unexpected ways. I want to able to do ^T ^W, see the window list
and then immidiately be able to do actions on the current. It's
counterintuitive that that command acts on the ratmenu window.

Another solution to this might be if ratpoison could ignore
certain windows, group transients with their parents, or
something like that.

Anyway, if you're going to have a window list built in, why not
make it useful? Making a useless feature useful i would call the
opposite of bloating, rather than wank.
