Hey,

I had the same problem when I installed ratpoison under the Dapper I've 
been using for the last age. I don't remember for sure what I did to 
resolve the problem, but I suspect that creating the file 
"ratpoison.desktop" in /usr/share/xsessions did the trick. This is what 
my ratpoison.desktop looks like:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Ratpoison
Comment=Start Ratpoison as your window manager
Exec=ratpoison
Icon=
Type=Application


Hope that helps.
