-ratpoison is a light tiling window manager for X. It shares many similarities
-with screen, which has already made wonders for the CLI world. It allows
-perfect harmony between CLI and X11 apps.
+Ratpoison is a simple Window Manager with no fat library dependencies,
+no fancy graphics, no window decorations, and no rodent dependence. It is
+largely modelled after GNU Screen which has done wonders in the virtual
+terminal market. The screen can be split into non-overlapping frames. All
+windows are kept maximized inside their frames to take full advantage of
+your precious screen real estate. All interaction with the window manager
+is done through keystrokes.
