Package: ratpoison
Version: 1.4.3-1
Severity: normal

If I open twm using ratpoison's tmpwm feature, and then try to close it,
ratpoison doesn't respond. The manual indicates that ratpoison will take
over again. This may be part of what is described in #467076.

To reproduce:
1. Open ratpoison.
2. Hit "C-t :" and type "tmpwm twm"
3. Move any windows out of the way of the root, click the backround and
select Exit. Really Exit.
4. Ratpoison does not respond to commands until sending SIGHUP from a
terminal.

I have also reproduced this with metacity, killing it from a terminal.
Apparently, ratpoison does take over in some way. If the windows were
moved out of the way, as you would need to do to close twm, they should
stay put if there's no window manager in control. However, the windows
jump back into place and are maximized, as if ratpoison was trying to do
something.
