I thought I'd try out your updates to ratpoison but cannot build the
system.  I "autoconf" followed by "./configure" and get:

,----
| ratpoison $ ./configure 
| checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
| checking whether build environment is sane... yes
| checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /bin/mkdir -p
| checking for gawk... gawk
| checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
| checking whether make supports nested variables... yes
| checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... yes
| checking whether to enable debugging... no
| ./configure: line 2839: syntax error near unexpected token `XFT,'
| ./configure: line 2839: `        PKG_CHECK_MODULES(XFT, xft,,noop=noop)'
| ratpoison $ 
`----

Any suggestions on how to proceed most welcome!  I'm on latest ubuntu
and mostly up to date.

thanks,
eric
