Is supports the mouse, but unlike most window managers all navigation
can be done with the keyboard. It's a *lot* like screen, but extended to
X. If you like being at console and like screen but want more control
over resolution, fonts, etc., then ratpoison will be nice for you. I
don't need much fancy X stuff, but I really like using ratpoison for my
1920x1200 widescreen (better resolution and crisper fonts than anything
you'd get at console.)
