Re: Starting something from .ratpoisonrc once X has settled in.

John:

There's no sleep supported in .ratpoisonrc, so either you're speaking of 
.xinitrc or something similar.

My .ratpoisonrc seems to work correctly with xmodmap as follows:

exec xsetroot -solid blue -cursor_name left_ptr
exec xrdb -merge "$HOME"/.Xresources
exec xmodmap "$HOME"/.xmodmap
exec xset -dpms
exec xset s off

Hope this helps

Rob
