We waited and waited :). Well I beat you to it. Buuut because of the
way X windows converts keysyms to strings its now 'C-t question'. This
I think is acceptable. I almost think we should just go for a method
that always works:

Welcome to ratpoison! Hit `C-t :help' for help.

then its hardcoded and the binary is of course smaller. Seems sorta
silly (now that I went ahead and wrote the damn thing) to search for
the help binding and do all that work...
