My slightly hacked version that does just that (but is limited to 9 
windows).

just change the ratpoison commands that come after the while loop to read:

ratpoison -c "select $curframe"
echo "Restore window layout... "
ratpoison -c "windows"
read -n1 i
ratpoison -c "frestore `ratpoison -c 'getenv tmp'`"
ratpoison -c "select ${i}"


I put the script in ~/.ratpoison/expose and added

bind F12 exec xterm -e ~/.ratpoison/expose

to my .ratpoisonrc, now <escape> F12 shows me all my windows and a list of 
them by title, pressing the corresponding windows puts me back where I was 
but with the selected window in front and focused.
