I realized that, a short while after filing the bugreport.

Any suggestions on how I can help debug it? I'm also very puzzled,
since the same commands work fine from the command line (ratpoison -c
'...'). For example, is there any easy (besides looking at the i/o
with strace) to log the communication between ratpoison and the
X-server?
My X-server, according to xdpyinfo:
name of display: :0.0
version number: 11.0
vendor string: The X.Org Foundation
vendor release number: 10402000
X.Org version: 1.4.2
maximum request size: 16777212 bytes
motion buffer size: 256
bitmap unit, bit order, padding: 32, LSBFirst, 32
image byte order: LSBFirst
number of supported pixmap formats: 7
[...]
I'm not very familar with xorg or debian's packaging thereof, but the
packages I have installed are:
$ dpkg -l 'xserver*' |grep '^ii'

I'm using the VIA driver, and it seems I have kbd enabled.

which looks sane, as far as I can tell.
