There was a bug in the display string parsing that your DISPLAY made
pretty obvious. I've uploaded a patch to the git repo that should fix
this. Can you give it a try?

I don't know why your key bindings don't work. If, after running the
above change, they still don't work as expected then let me know and
send your ratpoison rc file. I'm assuming the default keybindings
work?
