`frame' is used too much there, imho. How about this:

ratpoison is a @dfn{paned} window manager. Instead of allowing windows
to have arbitary shapes at arbitary locations on the screen, the
display is divided into panes like a real window. The panes are called
@dfn{frames}, and windows are placed in them, maximised. ratpoison
starts with one frame, which can be split into an arbitary number of
smaller ones. You can move among them, making different ones the
current. For more information, see @ref{Splitting The Screen}.

Too much `frame' here too, I think. But I can't come up with something
better-sounding at the moment.

Apart from the things I noted, I like the patch.
