[RP] Answer to "** The Gimp is impossible to use under ratpoison!"

[XenoTrout]

Like workspaces, a little glue code will fix the 'problem' of the gimp in
ratpoison. It's really just a matter of setting up the frames. I have
created (and included in this message) a script that splits a frame (it
doesn't use frestore) and selects the gimp windows. Perhpaps it can be put
in contrib to answer the FAQ of using the gimp in ratpoison. I use the
gimp in ratpoison, and I actually prefer it in frames rather than floating
windows.
